Hufflepuff House Sunshine

To say Will Solace was having a terrible day was an understatement. He’d had a sleepless night, thanks to a suspected case of the plague- and by suspected case of the plague, Will means a common cold from his sister Kayla. Except he was completely convinced that he absolutely did not have a cold, he most certainly had man flu. He couldn’t breathe through his nose at all, his sinuses heavy and his head sore. Madam Pomfrey had told him, with no room for arguments, that he was not allowed to help out in the infirmary whilst he was sick. Will was halfway through a boring transfigurations class when his transfigurations partner, Nico di Angelo, started giggling uncontrollably. McGonagall raised her eyebrow, but Nico only started to laugh more.”What now,” Will asked quietly, and Nico pointed at his project.

Said project was supposed to be a tortoise being transfigured into a top hat. However, Nico had created “Voldetort!” Nico was hysterically laughing by now at Voldetort, and Will couldn’t help but join in- the giggles were infectious.

“Nico! That’s not funny,” Will protested, but one more look at Voldetort had him moved to tears of hysterical laughter.

“Voldetort,” Nico wheezed breathlessly, which seemed to be the final straw for McGonagall, who strode over to the desk, looking over there shoulders.

“Care to share the joke with the class, di Angelo, Solace?”

“Voldetort,” Nico repeated, pointing at the creation.

McGonagall gave an amused hum, and Will lost the ability to control his giggles. “Five points from Slytherin and Hufflepuff,” she declared, returning to the front desk, “oh, and please attempt to control your giggles, boys, and focus on the project you’ve been given, or I shall have to send you out of the class.”

“Cool, see you later,” Nico shrugged, walking straight out of class.

“I uh- he has a doctor’s note, so do I,” Will said quickly, jogging after Nico. “You can’t just- walk out of class,” Will gasped, and Nico gave him a pointed look.

“Then what are you doing?”

“Uh… well you need somebody to make sure you stay out of trouble! Plus in the aftermath of Voldemort-”

“Voldetort!”

“Very mature(!) Anyway, even with voldemort gone we aren’t necessarily safe, so,, we should walk around in pairs, you know, use the buddy system?”

“You’re such a dork,” Nico snorted.

“Says the boy who made a card game out of the chocolate frog cards,” Will protested.

“Yeah, so? I sell the cards in packs to people at tuck, and I make one hundred galleons a day!”

“That’s against the rules, Nico!”

“Technically, the rule is you can’t sell sweets or chocolate on school premises, it says nothing about selling playing cards. Check and mate!”

“That’s… actually genius,” Will smiled, “so, where are we going?”

“That...is a really good question,” Nico replied, “Slytherin common room?”

“No thanks,” Will replied, “the Giant Squid freaks me out every time he swims past…”

“Oh, you mean Steve?”

“Who the fuck named him Steve?”

“Percy did,” Nico replied, and Will shrugged- that was just regular weirdness at Hogwarts.

“We could go sneak into the kitchens?” Will suggested, “there’s a secret passage by the Hufflepuff common room that somebody dug so we could stress eat during exam season and obsessively bake cookies.”

“Oh my gods it’s like a care bear possessed your entire house,” Nico laughed, “how about we break into the Ravenclaw common room?”

“Only Ravenclaws can get in there.”

“You, my friend, need more Slytherin in you! Where’s your ambition? I bet you ten chocolate frogs-”

“Deal!”

“You didn’t even hear my-”

“I said deal, di Angelo, I don’t fuck around with cholocate.”

“You just sold your soul to me, Solace,” Nico joked, and Will shrugged.

“You already stole my heart, you can take my soul any day.”

“Shut up, sap,” Nico blushed, trying to hide his face behind his hair as they reached the Ravenclaw common room door. Nico knocked, waiting for a riddle.

“What has two eyes but cannot see, what appears red in one light and blue in another-”

“A blind police dog next to a cop car with the flashing lights on, now let us in.”

“The answer’s-” Will gasped when the door opened anyway, and Nico smirked triumphantly. “The answer was Iridescent, Nico,” Will protested.

“Are you sure you’re not a secret Ravenclaw, Solace?”

“Are you sure you aren’t a Hufflepuff, di Angelo?” Nico gasped dramatically, clutching his chest.

Will reached out, softly pressing his finger to the tip of Nico’s nose, making him go cross-eyed. “Boop!”

“Fuck off,” Nico scowled, although Will merely laughed musically- there was no malice in his tone. “That was a sneaky move, you snake, are you sure you weren’t supposed to be a slytherin?”

“Well, the hat did try to put me in Slytherin,” Will mused, “because I’m ambitious and all, but I value loyalty and friendship and kindness and helpfulness far more than anything else, and I offered the sorting hat my mom’s cookies if it put me in Hufflepuff.”

“Bribery, huh...that… that is simultaneously the most Slytherin and the most Hufflepuff thing I have ever heard. You never cease to surprise me,” Nico huffed.

“Why did we break in here anyway?”

“Because I’m chaotic evil and I’m going to draw a weiner in all the books.”

“Nico,” Will gasped, “you can’t just-”

“There’s nothing in the rules about writing in books or drawing anatomical drawings, therefore, I’m not breaking the rules.”

“Good gods you’re lawful evil,” Will gasped.

“You take that back,” Nico gasped in mock offence (or at least, what Will hoped was mock offence). “Actually,” Will grinned, tilting his head to the side, “you’re a whole-ass lawful good!”

“No!” Nico gasped.

“Yes you are!” Will grinned, “I saw you give your homework to Lou-Ellen in Potions!”

“I did no such thing,” Nico gasped, and Will laughed.

“You’re basically a human corn snake, you eat, get warm, and go to sleep.”

“You just described a cat.”

“Danger noodles are forbidden kitties!” Will reasoned, and Nico shook his head in disbelief.

“Yeah well- you’re a forbidden kitty!” Nico retorted.

“Did you just call me a furry?”

“You know what- yes. Yes I did.”

“I should buy a fursuit.”

“Will no,” Nico protested.

“Will yes!” Will grinned, “You know who else is a furry?”

“Frank, Grover, and Alex?”

“Well- yes, but I was gonna say the house mascots! School sanctioned fursonas.”

“That mental image is cursed. Thank you for giving me inspiration for the howler I’m going to send to Jason today,” Nico smiled.

“You’re very welcome,” Will grinned, “you should get him to dress as the Gryffindor lion before you send the howler.”

“Superb, you funky little badger,” Nico grinned, and Will giggled.

“Anyway,” Nico mused, “I thought you said you had the plague.”

“This may sound like I was being a dramatic dumbass, but I accidentally ate a sweet from the Stolls and it may have been responsible for my sneezing fit.”

“You ate something the Stolls gave you? You know they probably got it from the Weasley’s shop?”

“Nico, you don’t understand. It was food shaped. I ate an eraser once because it looked like sushi.”

“Oh my gods you’re a walking hazard, Solace,” Nico sighed in exasperation, “the black and yellow house colours are secretly hazard tape.”

“Warning, may bake you cookies and give you hugs.”

“Please tell me you haven’t.”

“Maybe,” Will beamed, holding a paper bag to his chest before holding them out to Nico, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“Holy shit, you’re a literal ray of fucking sunshine,” Nico grinned, taking the bag and peering inside.

“They’re cantuccini almond and honey biscotti,” Will announced, “I asked your dad who gave me your mother’s recipe! You mentioned how she used to bake you cookies when you had a nightmare, and how you’d never had any since your mom died because your dad can’t cook anything other than burned ready meals and your step mom puts pomegranate in everything and your step gran just feeds you cereal, so I thought you’d appreciate… are you crying?”

“I’m not crying,” Nico protested, “I’m having an allergic reaction, too much human emotions.”

“Aww, that’s adorable!” Will grinned, squeezing Nico in a strong hug.

“I can’t breathe, Will,” Nico protested, and Will laughed gently.

“I’ll let go when you smile,” Will replied stubbornly.

“I’m never going to smile,” Nico grumbled.

“Then you’re eternally trapped in a bear hug!”

“That’s my plan,” Nico replied, hugging back, “my evil, cunning Slytherin plan to get you to cuddle me.”

“I think my Hufflepuff side is rubbing off on you,” Will laughed.

“I was gonna be sorted into Hufflepuff but I blackmailed the sorting hat and I was put in Slytherin.”

“You dramatic gay.”

“You’re gay,” Nico retorted, and Will hummed happily.

“It’s your fault,” Will stated matter of factly.

“Oh sure, blame your rainbow on me, you big homo,” Nico laughed.

“You’re a big homo,” Will replied.

“It’s your fault! You’re freaking adorable, you’re like- the Hufflepuff House Sunshine or something,” Nico huffed.

“Hufflepuff House Sunshine. Huh… that’s my title now,” Will replied with a grin. Perhaps today wouldn’t be such a bad day after all.

Darksiders: The Great House Party - chapter 1

This is more of a polished snippet, guys. But since you don’t seem to like those huge-ass lumps of text I’ve dumped on Tumblr anyway, I’m gonna cut this story into small chapters and publish those as I go. This part is only fluff and totally wholesome. Includes Reader being bratty, Death being a Cultured Badass and Strife making a lame-ass joke. Enjoy!

The sharpshooter appraised you with a half-lidded look. His freckled skin was dark, but not quite brown. You’ve never met a human – or any other being, really - with a hide of such colour. It had deep purplish tones of a ripe eggplant.

Those golden eyes shined like coals in contrast. And now they glided all over you.

It produced a weird sensation in your spine. Not exactly unpleasant, just...alerting. Like that time long ago when you licked a 9V battery and got shocked.

They were no easy answers with Strife. You couldn’t tell what his deal exactly is. You two bickered, you two bonded, you fell out over something trivial, rinse and repeat. Sometimes he made fun of you, sometimes he seemed to really care. Was that buddying camaraderie, or just teeth-clenched teamwork? The most laid-back of the Horsemen kept you on your toes, all the time.

The night was damp, sultry, vibrating with lights and music. It came at you as this onslaught of sensation: too many, all at once, like a wave. You could feel your legs giving in. Your better judgement getting off the hinges, bending like a boiled noodle.

You felt hot, bothered and not exactly sober. Although not nearly drunk enough for your poor choices.

So maybe it were those three beers that did the talking. Maybe it was just you.

„I feel like doing something stupid...”, you said in a low voice.

His eyes went huge. In that moment you could see nothing else. Two golden moons, glimmering with drunken lust and feverish hope. His smile was like a shark’s. You should’ve been put off by the grimace – but then again, you did have had those three beers.

„Well then, kid, you’ve come to the right Horseman”.

*Three weeks earlier*

A party!

The idea sprouted in your head during one of those long, awfully hot summer nights. It so happened that none of the Riders had any murderous business to attend. Unless prodded to do something together, they spent their free time much like giant cats. That is: exerting minimal effort.

They lazied around on sofas, which has been moved out to the spacious veranda. It didn’t help much with the heat. But the night wind rustling through greenery surrounding the house was nice.

Now it blew through War’s shiny hair while he dozed off. The moths smashed their little furry bodies against the lamp. Fury chuckled softly, those pearly peepers glued to the monitor of her laptop.

Strife decimated a pile of doughnuts, while Death read War and Peace.

It sure was peaceful. Which means that nothing happened.

You hanged around them with a humongous glass of iced tea, feeling more hot and bored by the minute.

„It will take you forever to finish this”, you chimed in, tracing the Reaper’s pale forearm with your fingers.

„It just so happens that I have forever.” He didn’t even lift eyes from the page.

You felt like an ignored puppy.

„Why would you spend even a minute of it on this musty ol’ doorstop of a book anyway?” You whined, climbing onto the Reaper’s tight abdomen and leaning over the tome in his hand.

Death gave out a sigh.

„I see”, he said with a half-smirk, stroking your chin with his long fingers. „You wish I’d lavish you with attention instead?”

You pouted. „Well, yeah! I’m bored outta my mind.”

„Later”, declared Death and got back to reading.

„Whut?”

„I’ll attend to you later. Very thoroughly, too.”

Damn his narrow ass! The eldest Rider had such a way of announcing those things. Curt, even standoffish, yet subtly playful in his own way. As much as you’d wish to get all in a huff - you felt defeated by the note of dry amusement in his voice.

But you sure as hell weren’t going to show it.

„Death!...”

„Didn’t you hear what I just said? Now get off me, will you? I’m about to get to the good part.”

Strife chortled - and then had the gall to wink when your head sprung back. The bastard.

„There are no good parts in damn War and Peace”, you mumbled, scampering off the Russian literature aficionado. You set your hopes on War instead.

The Big Guy didn’t object to being crawled on, because he was snoring.

So you have lied flat on his broad chest, spread your arms wide and pretended to be this kid from Totoro.

The steady tide of War’s breath was like the sea’s murmur. Soothing.

„So, which part are you at, exactly?...” you muttered, pressing your cheek to the warm vastness that was the sleeping Horseman.

„Natasha and Prince Bolkonsky are having their first waltz”, said Death. „It’s exquisite.”

She’s gonna cheat on him and he will die in the war, you thought to yourself, but of course didn’t say it aloud. You said only:

„Waltz. Dancing...I’d love to dance.”

„Hey pancakes, you could always hit the town with me.” Strife chimed in, his lazy tone implying that he’s is absolutely not invested in the proposition.

„I could?..” You were baffled.

„As if I’d allow that”, said Death calmly and turned a page.

„Oh come on, D!”

„Yeah, D, don’t get your low cut panties in a twist..." Strife dispatched the last doughnut and casually threw the empty tray through the wide-open veranda doors, into the house. It flew with a „swoosh!” and bounced off the kitchen wall before falling precisely into the sink.

The showoff.

„It’s not like I’m gonna take my eyes off her...even for a second.”

Those golden eyes shined like coals in contrast. And now they glided all over you.

It produced a weird sensation in your spine. Not exactly unpleasant, just...alerting. Like that time long ago when you licked a 9V battery and got shocked.

They were no easy answers with Strife. You couldn’t tell what his deal exactly is. You two bickered, you two bonded, you fell out over something trivial, rinse and repeat. Sometimes he made fun of you, sometimes he seemed to really care. Was that buddying camaraderie, or just teeth-clenched teamwork? The most laid back of the Horsemen kept you on your toes, all the time.

„Those dens that you frequent are not suitable for her kind”, stated your most beloved Nephilim and got back to his read.

„Yeah, cause I’m such a delicate flower, me”, you snorted.

Death ignored you. He would accommodate you in many ways, but he got downward paranoid when it came to your safety.

Those fears of his weren’t all unfounded. Many marauder demons still traipsed the post-Revival Earth; remnants of a once-great army, eager for food or just for something alive to toy with. And during your shared journey through the realms Death witnessed how easy to kill or maim you are.

You couldn’t blame him for being overprotective.

Further bickering seemed pointless. Instead you got an idea. It flashed upon you abruptly like the cartoon lightbulb.

„Let’s throw a party”, you said.

„Huh?...” Strife didn’t seem to follow.

„I said, let’s throw a party. Here. In this house. Let’s get booze and food and stuff. Let’s finally put those bigass speakers you got to play RDR2 to good use. Let’s invite all sorts of folks over and be merry!

„Those are damn good speakers...” remarked Strife slowly.

„Yeah.” You grinned. „That’s what I’m saying. Now imagine Fuel blasting through them.”

„You’ve got me here, pumpkin”, said Strife, throwing his hands in the air. „I’m sold.”

You turned to his twin. „Fury?”

„Oh, I don’t care much about parties”, said the purple-haired one. Her eyes were fixed on funny cats prancing through Youtube. Then she sat up and brushed a tendril behind her shapely ear. „Wait. Did you just say you can make music play really loud tho?”

„As loud as you wish it to be.”

She licked her lips. „Even...Beyoncé?”

You subdued a knowing chuckle. The only thing bigger than the rageful vixen’s newfound affinity for cheesy pop songs...was her need to hide this fondness from her kin. It seemed to have wavered though.

„Especially Beyoncé.” you said, your mouth tilting upwards. „I can’t imagine a better tune to dance the night away.”

„Then I’m on board with this”, said Fury swiftly.

Half of the crew down, another half to go.

„Hey, War!” you jumped up and down, sitting astride the snoring giant. If he were a regular man, he’d probably wake up with a start. War just opened his bright eyes - slowly - and gave you a smile that was not quite there.

„What is it, Little One?...”

„We’re gonna give a party!” You bounced off his firm stomach, excited like a toddler. „Lots of music, lots of booze, lots of people, too! You’re with us?”

„What about food?” That was the Red Rider’s only input. Then he yawned, grunted and stretched to his whole impressive length. The ripple that went through this powerful body almost knocked you over. You laughed breathlessly and clutched onto his shirt.

„Food, sure. We can build a barbecue of epic proportions. Like the one we used to have back when I stayed with the Makers. I’m sure Ulthane will know how to run one.”

„Ulthane! Haven’t seen this old stump for some time now. Also, I’d love some roasted meat.” War’s peepers shone brightly at the idea of a feast; you needn’t coax him further. As Strife’s put it - he was sold.

That left you just with one remaining member of the Nephilim Squad. Unfortunately, he was also the grumpiest one. You first and most beloved. Death.

You looked him in the eyes with pleading.

„D, can we have a house party? Please, please. I’m so bored, I’m gonna climb up walls!”

The Pale Rider bookmarked his page, closed the ancient yellowed tome - and sighed.

„It’s not like I can deny you now, can I?” he said wryly. But the corner of his mouth was twitching, and that flame in his eyes was kind. „Although this is going to put this whole household in a state of disarray.”

„Well, War’s armour pieces already fill the bathtub...and Strife likes to frisbee used dishes into the sink. So you mean, like in more disarray than it already is?” You gave him a shit-eating grin.

Death chuckled. „Good point. Though I have objections. What exactly do you mean by lots of people?”

You calmed down and started to count on your fingers.

„Oh, nothing too excessive. Just a bunch of friends. Like Ulthane and some of his Makers and some angels, I mean, Uriel and Usiel would both be down for it, and maybe Vulgrim…

„Vulgrim steals everything that isn’t riveted to the ground”, said Death dryly.

You giggled.

„Yeah, I reckon. But what exactly can he snatch from our crib that would be worthy enough to fund that soul habit of his? Spoons?”

„Oh, you'd be surprised.”

„Okay, then maybe not him. But Fury, Strife, you both should totally bring your human friends from Haven, too! I’d love to meet them.”

Fury nodded absentmindedly.

„My friends...from Haven?” Repeated the gunslinger in a weird voice.

„Yeah!” You were too preoccupied with your trail of thought to think much about Strife’s suddenly tightened expression.

He went still for a while, then shrugged.

„Your wish is my command.”

„Cool! Oh, this is gonna be fun. I bet Azrael was never to a proper barbecue before...”

„Wait.” Death lifted one hand. „What are you saying? Azrael? The Makers? I have nothing against them, but they would never fit inside this house.”

He was right. You and the Four bought this derelict estate, tore it down and then rebuilt to fit their proportions. Especially to War’s, who never felt at ease in human-sized interiors, what with all his bulk. But the magical Scots people were another case entirely. Same went for Azrael’s nonsensical display of poshness, which was his damn wings.

You grinned and slapped your forehead.

„They won’t...but they'll fit into our yard. Let’s make this a garden party, people! The nights are way too hot to sit inside anyway. War, do you have any additions to the guest list?”

„As long as there’s food, I don’t care”, stated your beloved lug of a man and went back to napping.

„Strife?”

„Lemme see...Make sure to invite Jack Daniels”, quipped Strife and chortled.

You couldn’t help but smile either.

„I am going to regret this”, stated Death stoically. „But so be it.”

Baby Daddy - Chapter 15

You can read it on AO3 here, or find the Tumblr Chapter Index here.

Waiting is the worst. Stiles has never been a patient guy, and having a sheriff for a father hasn’t made things any easier. When Stiles was a kid, after he lost his mom, he could sometimes work himself all the way up into a panic attack, thinking of all the terrible things that could happen to his dad once he left the house to go to work. And then, of course, one day it did happen. One day Stiles got pulled out of class to be told his dad had been shot, and they didn’t know if he was going to make it.

Jesus.

The last eight months have been stressful as fuck, and today really isn’t helping.

But at least today Stiles isn’t all alone. He’s got Derek with him, and focussing on Derek gives him something to do apart from panic.

He microwaves some pizza pockets he’s been keeping hidden in the very back of the freezer, and forces Derek to sit on the couch and eat one.

“It’ll be okay,” he tells him for what feels like the hundredth time, and with a lot more confidence than he actually feels.

Derek gives him the side eye. “I can hear your heartbeat, you know. I can tell you’re lying.”

“What?” Stiles blinks. “Okay, so first of all, if my heart rate is elevated it’s because I’m scared, not because I’m lying. Lying would be a deliberate attempt to hide the truth. Second of all, you can hear heartbeats?”

Derek nods.

Stiles blinks as he processes the reality of something as crazy as that. “How the fuck do you sleep?”

“You learn to filter stuff out,” Derek says, a slight tug at the corner of his mouth like he’s trying not to react to Stiles’s wide-eyed curiosity. “Everyone does that though, even regular people. We just do it more.”

“Wow.” Stiles ruminates on that for a moment. “So, like, if there was a mouse in the walls, would you be able to hear that?”

“Probably.” For a moment it looks like Derek might actually smile, but then he abruptly ducks his head again, as though he’s caught himself. His expression shutters again.

“Dude, you’re amazing.” He offers Derek what he hopes is an encouraging smile. “I’d love to know more about you and your body and stuff.”

Derek’s eyebrows shoot up.

“That came out wrong!” Stiles’s face burns as he very much does not think about Derek’s body specifically. And in detail. He does not. “I mean, I’d love to know more about what werewolves can do, and how you’re different from the rest of us, if you’re cool talking about it.” He swallows. “Sorry, my mouth runs ahead of my brain a lot of the time. Also, I have ADHD, so that’s saying something, because my brain is also all over the place, and it becomes this whole mouth-brain vicious circle thing.”

Usually when Stiles word-vomits all over a virtual stranger like that, they nod politely and attempt to extricate themselves from the conversation as cleanly as possible. But Derek’s holding his gaze, and his expression is open and soft and somehow strangely fond, like Stiles is a revelation. And the good kind of revelations, not the Bible kind.

It makes something fierce and protective uncurl inside Stiles. It makes him want to stand between Derek and the world, and be his armor. But Stiles isn’t really big enough for that, is he? It won’t stop him from trying though.

“When I as younger,” Stiles says, “this was the worst part. The waiting. Like if Dad got a call in the middle of the night, I’d know it was a big deal, because, well, when they wake the sheriff up in the middle of the night it’s usually a big deal. And I would always try to stay awake until he got home again, because what if I fell asleep again and something happened, and I’d always know that I hadn’t even cared enough to stay up for him?” He picks at the pizza pocket crumbs on the plate, and shrugs. “But at some point I realised I couldn’t do that anymore, you know? That whatever was going to happen was going to happen anyway, and it had nothing to do with me, and being awake or asleep wouldn’t change a damn thing. So, like, we can sit here and worry, or we can sit here and I can ramble at you and ask you questions about werewolves, and whatever happens will happen anyway.”

Derek nods slightly, like Stiles is actually making sense, which again isn’t the sort of reaction Stiles is used to from people he barely knows. Stiles is very much an acquired taste.

“So I’m going to choose to ramble and ask questions,” he says. “And just so you know, that doesn’t mean I’m not also not going to be freaking the fuck out for my dad, and for Laura and your uncle, and for…”

It hits him suddenly. The baby has been such a nebulous concept up until now, even knowing that Laura is pregnant. But it’s still real, isn’t it? A baby. And a part of Stiles thinks wildly that there is no practical difference between a baby who is never born and some invented human being pulled entirely from the imagination—they are both people who fail to exist— but that’s not really true, is it? He feels it. It wouldn’t hurt like this if the baby was just some hypothetical human being.

“And for the baby,” Derek finishes for him, softly.

“Yeah.” Stiles swallows and it hurts. He flashes Derek a shaky smile. “So yeah, fucking werewolves, huh? What is that about?”

Derek returns his smile, and reaches out and takes his hand. “You can ask me whatever you want to distract us both, Stiles.”

“Do you turn into a real wolf?” Stiles blurts out. “Or just like a super hairy and kind of unconvincing Lon Chaney Jr.?”

“I’m very convincing,” Derek says with a hesitant smile that grows when Stiles laughs. “We have two shifted forms. We call one of them the beta shift. It’s with claws, and hair, but it’s still basically human-shaped.”

“Cool,” Stiles breathes. “So cool!”

“And…and most of us can shift into a proper wolf form too,” Derek says, but there’s something guarded in his tone.

“Most of you?”

“I can’t,” Derek says, his tone clipped. “I haven’t been able to, since… Since the fire.”

“Oh, that really sucks.” Stiles squeezes Derek’s hand. “Do you know why?”

Derek looks away. “My pack bond isn’t strong enough.”

“Because you lost your family?” Stiles asks softly.

Derek shrugs, still looking away. “Laura can still do it.”

“I’m really sorry, Derek,” Stiles says.

“It’s just a shift,” Derek tells the floor.

“Yeah, I guess. Seems like you miss it though.”

Derek looks back at him, eyes wide. “I do.”

Stiles leans in closer, knocking their shoulders together. “Maybe you’ll get it back one day. What can you do to make your pack bond stronger again?”

“I don’t know.”

“I’ll bet we can figure something out,” Stiles says. “I’ll bet you can do there werewolf equivalent of group exercises and trust falls, and all that lame shit they make you do at camp. But cooler! Because werewolves.”

He’s talking out of his ass again, but it wrings a tiny smile from Derek, and Stiles might be a little bit in love with that smile. It transforms Derek’s whole face, and Stiles feels a rush of warm pride at being the one who put it there. Okay, so he thought Derek was a tweaker the first time he saw him, but he’s not. He’s a guy who’s been beaten down by all the bad shit that’s happened in his life, and at some point—at this point—that’s enough. Stiles might have absolutely no control over whatever happens today to Laura and to Peter and to Dad and to Parrish, but he can do this, right? He can make sure that, whatever it is, Derek doesn’t have to face it alone.

“Okay,” he says, forcing lightness into his tone, “so how about you show me your claws, Mr. Chaney Jr.?”

***

Derek doesn’t just have claws—he has fangs as well, and Stiles has to force himself not to reach out and touch them the same way he did the claws. There’s a line, right? And sticking his fingers in another guy’s mouth is probably crossing it.

He follows the curve of Derek’s mouth with his gaze, biting his own lip when he sees the way Derek’s fang digs into the plump flesh.

Derek catches him staring, and Stiles feels the heat rising in his face.

“What else can you do?” Stiles asks him.

Derek glowers, his heavy eyebrows tugging together, and then suddenly coarse, dark hair is sprouting from his cut-glass cheekbones, and his forehead transforms into a thick ridges brow that would be the envy of a Neanderthal. His eyebrows vanish completely somewhere in the process, but a deep widow’s peak compensates for the loss.

Stiles lets out a startled laugh, and this time he can’t keep his hand to himself at all. He traces Derek’s ridged brow, his pointed ears, and then runs his fingers down his wolfy sideburns. Derek turns his head into Stiles’s touch, like a cat, and rubs the side of his face against his fingertips. His eyes shine brilliant blue again, and Stiles wants to laugh at how crazy this is, and how Derek is rumbling like a cat as well.

“Are you sure you’re even a wolf?” he teases. “And not a little kitty cat?”

Derek snaps at his fingertips, and Stiles laughs and pulls his hand away.

“You’re amazing though,” he says, taking Derek’s hand in his, and pressing the pads of his fingers against the tips of Derek’s claws. “When I was a little kid I used to believe the world was magic for way longer than I should have, you know?”

Derek’s throat bobs as he swallows, and Stiles wonders if he can even talk in this form.

“But look at you!” Stiles says. “Holy shit. Look at you!”

Derek rumbles again.

***

The minutes tick slowly away towards the hour, and the tension in Stiles winds tighter and tighter. He doesn’t even know what’s happening, and the not knowing just drives his anxiety higher. He keeps checking his phone every thirty seconds until Derek takes it off him firmly and sets it down on the coffee table just out of reach.

Stiles flashes him an apologetic smile and leans back again. They’re sitting close on the couch, shoulders pressed together, and Stiles leans his head on Derek’s shoulder. Is that weird? He doesn’t even fucking care at this point, because he needs the closeness, okay? And then Derek shifts, and Stiles is about to flail upright again and apologise, but Derek isn’t trying to get rid of him. Instead, Derek lifts his arm and brings it back down again around Stiles, like it’s totally not weird at all, and Stiles exhales slowly. Just two bros cuddling, right? But there actually are extenuating circumstances, and it’s dumb to feel so awkward about this, because why shouldn’t two guys get their snuggle on when they both need a bit of emotional support? It’s only weird because society is fucked up.

Still, Stiles can’t help but notice that Derek smells good. He smells of warmth and soft cotton and some sort of body spray that Stiles doesn’t recognise. And he also can’t help but notice that the chest he’s resting his head against is incredibly well-defined.

God.

Stiles is such a creeper.

He feels a tickle of warm breath against the shell of his ear, and realises that he’s not the only creeper in this scenario. Is Derek smelling his hair?

Stiles turns his head, and Derek flinches back, and they both reach a silent gentlemen’s agreement not to mention they were smelling each other. At least Stiles thinks that Derek’s suddenly pink ears mean that he’s agreeing without words that they will never speak of this again.

But Derek’s arm is still around him, so Stiles reaches up and curls his fingers around Derek’s wrist to hold him there.

He’s okay with never talking about this again.

But right now? They both need it.

***

Stiles blinks himself awake when Derek moves. They’re still cuddling on the couch, and Stiles is attached to Derek’s shirt by a thin string of drool. Gross. He levers himself upright.

“Sleep okay?” Derek says. His face is back to normal now, his eyes green instead of luminescent blue.

“I was just resting my eyes,” Stiles grumbles at him. He reaches for his phone, and squints at the screen. He hasn’t missed any calls or messages. “

“Whatever happens today,” Derek says. “Thank you.”

He sounds vulnerable again, and scared.

“Hey.” Stiles reaches out and catches Derek’s hand, and settles back down beside him. He’s not letting Derek go yet. “Whatever happens, we’ll look out for each other, okay? I drooled on your shirt, Derek. We’re totally bros for life now!”

He thinks it should make Derek laugh, and wonders why it doesn’t.

They continue to wait.

If he REALLY likes you, he likes belly rubs too.Marble; Giving you an ounce of attention that isn’t him trying to hiss, swat and bite you, and kneading your tender human flesh with his razor claws. Lots of slow blinks.

20. How do you express love for them?

All of the regular human-on-cat smothering, plus too many toys for them to ever use, no less than half a dozen empty cardboard boxes set up randomly throughout the apartment at any given time, access to every surface other than the kitchen counters, and cuddles/pets/playtime whenever they want.

21. Any theories on what breed?

Sinn; Could get away with saying bombay mix probably?Vertigo; Probably a Norwegian forest mix, he hits all the breed standards but he’s not as pretty and regal looking as registered ones.Marble; LKSJDflkjsdf vague shrugging he’s really long and lean and has a mildly oddly shaped head, so maybe some oriental in there????

35. What time do they eat breakfast?

5:30 sharp, or Vertigo throws a goddamn fit about being late

36. Do you cut their nails?

Yep. Sinn sits patiently and probably just thinks it’s weird cuddling. Vertigo is mostly declawed. He has his back claws and one front claw. I cut the front claw whenever I see that it’s getting too long AND MARBLE tries to kill me, but yes. It takes me three days because we can only get a few toes in at a time, and lots of courage.

37. Do you think they understand you?

Yeah, at least to some extent. They definitely know certain words, including their names, and they’re good at cluing into moods and body language.

38. Ever make fun of them?

Constantly.

Fairly regularly.

43. Do they ever eat bugs?

Sinn; he likes to bring them to us instead...Vertigo; No interest.Marble; Yes.

44. Canned or dry food?

They eat dry usually, but love canned, so they get it once a week or so

45. Weight?

Sinn; 9lbsVertigo; about twenty poundsMarble; like fifteenish

46. Ever got lost?

Sinn; Nope. He got out once. We didn’t even know, and he got scared and cried at us from under the porch as we were about to leave the apartment. We heard him were just “??? Is THAT SINN?? WHERE?????” and he came running out to us like it was the most terrifying ten minutes of his life.Vertigo; No, he only goes outside if I go outside, and he wont leave a five foot radius of me.Marble; Once. Friends of ours didn’t shut the door all the way and he was missing for several ours. Turns out he made it thirty feet down the parking lot and into a dumpster and was too scared to come out until he heard us calling for him. It was a terrifying experience for all involved.

47. Do you buy them presents?

For every Christmas! And occasionally randomly throughout the year

48. Do they respond when you call?

Yep, they all know their names :)

49. Do they ever see other cats?

Very rarely. Vertigo and Marble hate other cats. Sinn wants to be friends with everything.

50. Declawed?

Vertigo is half declawed. As mentioned above, most of his front claws were removed for medical reasons. He’s a big, male cat with polydactyly, meaning he has extra digits. A lot of polydactyl cats end up with extremely thick, ingrown claws. Vertigo is no exception. His back claws are ungodly thick and grow really long, but luckily don’t curve much. His front claws, however, constantly curved until the points were embedding into his paw pads and would get infected and be painful. After struggling with it for years, we decided it would be less stressful on him to get them removed and we could deal with pain management for arthritis he’ll likely have as a result when he’s older. So far so good, though, and he has no problems with his feets.

51. Funniest expression?

Sinn; full, open mouthed squealing. He’s so dark, but his teeth are so white that it looks ridiculousVertigo; sometimes gets his cheek fluff or chest fluff stuck in his mouth after grooming and it’s so goofyMarble; goes cross-eyed when he yawns

52. Favorite place to be pet?

Sinn; e v e r y w h e r e everywhereVertigo; his head, or if he’s into it that day, his bellyMarble; under his chin

53. Worst thing they’ve destroyed?

They don’t destroy things, they’re very good boys

54. Give them a head kiss.

Gladly, but I already do more often then they probably want... Except Sinn. He wants all the kisses.

55. What time of the year is most exciting for them?

Sinn; Summer, he loves the sun!Vertigo; Winter, he loves the snow!Marble; I’m not sure he has a preference

56. Are they good at hunting real prey?

No..... Sinn makes friends with everything. The other two suck. We had a mouse in our apartment once, and had to buy a mouse trap. Three cats, and we had to buy a mouse trap slksjdf They would die if they ever got lose and couldn’t be found

57. Do they ever attack nothing?

Yes! They’ll randomly pounce on nothing, and it usually turns into playing amongst themselves or with a nearby toy.

58. What are they doing right now?

Sinn; snuggling meVertigo; somewhere in a different room, probably sitting in a boxMarble; laying at the foot of the bed, squinting at me

59. How long have you had them?

Sinn; 10 yearsVertigo; 10 yearsMarble; 9 years

60. If you could have them stay as a kitten forever, would you?

Nah. I loved them as kittens, I loved their annoying awkward teenage years, I’m loving their middle years, and I’ll love their old men years.

61. Ever baby-talk to them?

I mean. You read their nicknames, right...? (yes)

62. Favorite napping position?

Sinn; curled up in the crook of my armVertigo; on his back in the middle of the floor where he can easily be stepped on and yell at you for itMarble; classic cat side saddle lay at the foot of the bed, head either up or on crossed paws

63. Have you ever stepped on their paw?

Yes...... T^T

64. Ever tripped you on stairs?

Yes :\

65. Any ear hair?

Sinn; white ear hair, oddly enough, so his little ears look mostly baldVertigo; all the fluffMarble; some long tufts

66. Favorite view from a window?

They all like the patio door and the humming bird feeder out there, and the front window, where the watch people walk around like it’s a sport

67. Describe why they are precious.

Sinn; perfect, sweet, adorable little angle Vertigo; so grumpy, but when he’s happy, he’s so deeply happy and purrs so loudly and freely and he’s probably the most loyal cat I’ve ever seenMarble; winning his affection is so rewarding and he’s such a sweet boy when it finally happens. He’s also derpy as hell when he’s comfortable around you and will let you lion king him and throw him over your shoulder

68. Fit the cat stereotype?

Sinn; lol noVertigo; yesMarble; Yes, but fierce

69. Chaotic neutral?

I would say for all three?

70. Do they enjoy following/ keeping you company?

Oh yeah. All three migrate to whatever room I’m in at any given time. My partner says that on my weekends, when I sleep in, they’re lazy and quiet until I get up, then they’re active and playful and want attention. And Vertigo knows my work schedule. He waits by the door for me to get home.

71. Are you their favorite human?

Sinn; probably? It’s hard to tell.Vertigo; Absolutely.Marble; Second favorite, but it’s a close call, I think.

72. Do they like tv?

Neither of them have any interest in the TV

73. Favorite noise to make?

Sinn; happy happy purrsVertigo; He has a really rumbly, adorable, purr-meow thingMarble; Song mows

A Choices Halloween - Choices Fic

Books: Features characters from many different books

Words: Around 3000

Genre: Comedy

Summary: Kenji Katsaros is hosting a Halloween party where other influential persons like Thomas Hunt, Kamilah Sayeed or Sloane Washington are attending. Unfortunately things do not turn out as the hero hoped to.

"Hello everyone! I hope you guys are ready for the best Halloween party of the world!" Said the man coated in bronze, generally known as Talos to the general public. "Yeeaaah!" Yelled the crowd gathered on the dance floor. "I would just like to thank all of you for coming to this event! It is all thanks to you that this party will be considered as such! After all, how can you make an awesome party without super awesome people! Am I right?" Said Talos. "Yeah!" Echoed throughout the crowd. "I won't hold you guys down any longer! However let's just have a souvenir selfie!" Said the superhero as he turned his back to the crowd and lifted up his phone so that it could capture him and part of the crowd. "Everyone say Spooky Socks!" He said as he clicked the selfie. "Now... Party hard everyone! Just try to not break anything!" Said Talos as he got off the stage.

'We are having an amazing party here! Totally not missing you two!' He typed in the picture before sending it to Eva. A few seconds after the seen marker pop up but no reply, even after five minutes. 'At least reply if you've seen it!' Typed Kenji and after a few seconds Eva replied with a photo. The photo's content was her in the corner of the frame and the main target being Alex, in a very revealing demon outfit. It also had the caption: 'Sorry can't speak to you right now. There is someone more worthy of my attention 😏' This caused Kenji to nearly throw his phone away when a tap on his shoulder. He turned his head around and saw cute girl in a regency era costume.

"I am Imogen Wescott and I would like to personally thank you for hosting this amazing party!" She said with a bright smile. "Ugh thanks? But how did you get to the backstage? Weren't you on the dance floor with the others?" asked Talos. "It is too early to head for the dance floor. Plus too many sweaty people out there currently, maybe later. Moreover I wanted to thank the host personally," said Imogen brightly. "Thanks! And yeah, I should have probably looked for somewhere with a better dance floor?" Replied Talos. "Also I'm wondering do you have any superhero buddies who works around Pine Springs or Westchester? Weird stuff have been happening in the region lately," she said. "Not really, but we will see if we can come by someday," said Talos. "Sweet. Now if you'll excuse me, I saw a butler with really cute snacks on it," said Imogen as she waved to the bronze clad superhero before chasing after the butler who were serving certain pair.

"Oh my god Zack! Look how appealing these snacks are!" Squealed Madison at the skull shaped mimi-muffins in her hand. "They are so well done that I'm getting willies just by looking at them," frowned Zack before throwing the cake away while no one was looking. "I know right. Thanks again for coming with me Zack! Nobody wanted to come with me to the party," said Madison. "No problem. I'd be a fool to miss out an opportunity to have fun with someone like you! I wondered why you didn't take Becca instead with you," asked Zack who was dressed as a pirate. "She has an important assignment for her courses later this week and preferred to prepare herself instead of coming with me. She is working really hard for it and I respect her choice. She even got Sarah to come around to help her. I also couldn't get anyone from the Sorority since they are having their own party," explained Madison as she munched down the skull. "With Sarah around, I doubt she'd be able to focus much," smirked Zack. "Maybe," smiled Madison.

"Oh my god look at that girl! She looks just like you, except maybe a few years older," said Zack as he pointed towards two woman who just entered the party. One of them was wearing a green swamp monster outfit while the other blonde one was wearing a skin tight cat outfit. "Oh wow, you are right! And look at their outfits! We have to go and introduce ourselves!" Beamed Madison. "But they are across that massive crowd," said Zack shocked. "It will all be worth it! Come on!" Said Madison as she dragged Zack by the hand towards the crowd.

The two women those two were talking about were none other that Sereena Patel and Brooke Williams. "Yes! This party looks so fun! And all those wonderful costumes!" Squealed Brooke. "Wonderful costume? Most of the outfits that I have seen would probably have the sexy adjective stuck onto them. Modern Halloween is just an excuse for the patriarchy to be able to look at women in revealing out-" said Sereena before she was lightly slapped by Brooke. "Listen Sereena. This is a girl's night out. We are here to have fun and unwind ourselves. Especially you need to do so after stressing out so much these last few days. Plus if we went to Cole's party instead, I'm pretty sure a skimpy outfit would be obligatory..." said Brooke. Sereena was angry that her best friend slapped her, but deep down she knew Brooke was right and that she'd rather be in any other party than Cole's. "It is just that I'm losing my mind every time I'm seeing something sexualised. I mean do you know how many sexy nuns I have seen today! Wasn't The Nun a horror movie? Not a sexy romance one? And aren't nuns supposed to represent chasit-" argued Sereena before she was slapped yet again by Brooke. "You. Me. Have Fun," said Brooke threateningly. Sereena was going to blow up when suddenly a girl a Starfall outfit and a guy in a pirate outfit came.

"Wow your costumes are amazing!" Said Madison. "Am I already drunk? Why do I see two Brookes? "More important is that a Starfall costume? It looks so good! If Ben was here with us he would be so proud!" Said Brooke. "Wait you know Ben Park! I'm such a fan of his artwork for Venus Corp?" Squealed Madison. "Yes! He's part of our friend group! Oh, I'm Brooke by the way!" Replied Brooke. "And I'm Madison! Come over! I think we'll have a good time together!" Said the other blonde as the two of them walked away, deep in conversation.

"I guess it is just the two of us now," said Zack amazed by how the blondes got along so quickly. "And before you even try it, I'm not interested in you," said Sereena, annoyed that her partner left her alone with another guy. "Why would I even try to flirt with you? I'm only interested in guys. Maybe if you looked like Talos it would be another case," said Zack. "Oh sorry. It is just that I'm tired with men coming to me and flirting," apologized Sereena. "I can feel you. Heteros and their hetero bullshit assuming everyone is straight like them," added Zack. "I like you. My name is Sereena," smiled Sereena before reaching over for a handshake. "And I'm Zack! Let's go have a drink! We have to talk more," said Zack as both of them started walking towards the bar. As they walked towards there, Sereena noticed an odd trio consisting of two women and an old man in Santa outfits. They seemed really familiar but she'd rather focus on the man she just met.

"So guys, what do you think of this party?" Asked one of the women of the trio. She is known as Priya La Croix and is one of the most famous fashion designer currently. "It is nice but the host baited me hard with his 'Bloodwine'. I expected real blood in it, not a blood red wine with hints of pomegranate in it," said the Baron as he took a sip of his drink. "He is not really a vampire, so it is not really surprising that his appetizers do not really appeal to us that much. Still it is a rather decent party," said Kamilah. "We should host our own party and get him to taste real Bloodwine. Can you imagine his face when he discovers that he actually drank real blood," said Priya. "We should replace the human blood by rat blood instead. It would be even more fun," joked the Baron. "We are not going to ruin such a fantastic drink by mixing it with cheap rat or chicken blood. Furthermore, we should very likely not talk about this out open in the public eye. We do not want to look suspicious," said Kamilah. "No, I think we are good. If there is anyone suspicious out here, it is those two by the corner there. They look fishy with those electric blue lines on their face yet they are wearing a medieval outfit," said Priya.

The persons Priya was talking about were the Elara siblings, Pax and Eos who came back to the past. "That was cool of you for inviting me on your trip to the past Pax. I'm glad you are trusting me more," smiled Eos. "The only reason I brought you was because that would prevent you from telling Nova about my machine. Trust me, I'd rather take Holmes with me that your ugly ass," said Pax a little annoyed. "For your information, I have a nice ass. Zekei can attest to it. Also are you sure this medieval outfits will help us blend in?" Asked the elder brother. "I think they will do good. It is a Halloween party, so even if we came in our regular clothes is would be okay," replied Pax. "How did you get hold of these anyway?" Asked Eos. "Oh these outfits? I went back in the past as a test run and brought these as souvenirs," said Pax. "Wait! You used it without consulting us? What if you got stuck back then? How the hell would have we been able to bring you back to our era??" Exclaimed a shocked Eos. "Shut up! Someone is coming," said the younger sister as she noticed a woman approaching.

"Wow! Your costumes of Val Greeves and Will Jackson are so good! And I'm also a fan how you decided to give it a more sci-fi look with those blue bands. Oh sorry where are my manners. My name is Imogen Wescot," said the woman. "I'm Eos and this is my sister Pax and we are hapoy that you like our costumes" said Eos. "What are you doing in such a remote corner though! You guys should be strutting out your amazing costumes! You guys deserve more attention," said Imogen. "Uh this what we are trying to avoi-" continued Eos before Pax secretly elbowed him in the gut. "Oh I know your type! You want to be part of the fun but also don't want to be in the spotlight. How about you guys come with me on the dance floor? At this time it is not that crowded and people will barely notice you. So how about spending some time with me?" Asked Imogen. "Why am I getting the feeling that we will have to pay 20 diamonds to be able to do that?" Said Eos but he was ignored. "Sure! We'd love to!" Said Pax with a smile as she started following Imogen. Eos quickly walked towards Pax and whispered in her ear, "Shouldn't we try and stay hidden? What if we cause a time paradox?" "Its okay Eos. Time paradox only occurs in sci-fi movies. Plus Nathaniel Hoealot already debunked this stupid mytho. It does not exist. Let's just have fun," said Pax. "Why do I feel something bad is going to happen later on though," sulked the elder brother.

Eos was not the only one a little worried. By the entrance, a certain highschooler was also anxious. "Are you sure we are at the right party Micheal? I can't really see anyone we know here," said Maria Flores. "I think they might just be friends of Payton's sister. I heard they once invaded Autumn's party," said Michael. "Still, I'm not sure Payton would have been able to get us such a grand place for the party," argued Maria. "If you are that worried, why don't you just call her?" Said Michael as he started walking towards a nearby snack table. "Good idea. Aw come on! I forgot my phone! Let me use yours," said Maria after digging through her purse. Michael took out his phone and then shrugged. "Looks like we have the worst luck ever. My phone just died out. No battery," he said. "Ugh. Is this karma for when I returned an application half an hour late," replied Maria. "Listen.I'm sure it is her party, let's go deeper inside. The group will be there," continued Michael. "I don't know... I think I'm just going to wait outside for a little bit," said Maria as turned around, nearly bumping into someone in a black ghost outfit.

"Oh my god, Micheal. I don't know what to do. They are kinda scary," whispered Maria into his friend's ear. "Let me take care of this," whispered Michael back. "Hey there! Sorry for the little incident," said Michael in a friendly tone to Redfield. "Your costume is so good! It almost feels real!" He added as he went closer to the spirit and tried to grab what he believed was cloth, but his hand ended up going through the spirit's whole body. "Wh-wh-what the hell???" Said a panicked Michael. "It's not a p-p-person, it's a real ghost!" Yelled Maria as the ghost's face suddenly lit up in flames. "Maria! Run!" Yelled Michael as they both started running away.

Redfield using his levitation power lifted the table and tried throwing it at them, fortunately missing the highschoolers. However this caused the a mass panic at the party. The noise from the screams caused Redfield to grow more angry and attacked the persons closest to him. He took Thomas Hunt before throwing him across the room. He then grabbed Sloane Washington and then threw her on the snacks table. His gaze then soon trailed onto Drake Walker. "Me choke you, ugly man," said Redfield as he grabbed Drake by the neck. "But...Riley said...I was...gorgeous" said Drake as he tried escaping the ghost's grip. "She lied! You look... like a rotten potato!" said Redfield when Talos tried to kick him but ended up passing through the ghost. "No one is getting choked in my presence. Even ugly people," said Talos as he jumped back to his feet. "Go away!" screeched Redfield as he threw Drake like a slingshot on Kenji, knocking both of them unconscious.

"Should we not try and stop this ghost from killing those humans?" commented the Baron before sipping on his drink. "Since it seems to be an immaterial being, I doubt we will be able to accomplish much," said Kamilah. "The how about we ditch this party and crash another. I heard some high school students are hosting one nearby,"said Rpiya while checking her phone. "Seriously? High school students? Didn't you say that you had standards Lacroix?" commented the Baron. "That's where the fun is at. We will crash the party and show them how to really have fun! We'll even bring in some Bloodwine," suggested Priya. "Hmmm Let's go!" said Kamilah and the group of friends started walking towards the exit while dodging the flying furniture.

"Oh my god, we need to do something?" said Pax. "Eat that!" roared Eos as he fired his plasma gun at Redfield but that only succeeded at making the ghost more angry. "When I said that we needed to do something, I was talking more about running away! Wait? where did Imogen go?" yelled Pax. "No time to think about that! Let's go! That thing is now coming towards us!" yelled Eos as he activated the time travel device and they both disappeared back into the future before Redfield could get to them. Imogen was actually hiding in the corner texting Tom. "Hey Tom, big problem here. Ghost like monster. Immaterial black body," she typed and very soon after Tom replied. 'Redfiled? What is he doing there? Listen Imogen, find a safe place and remain hidden there and in absolutely no instances play any games with him!' typed Tom. "Why can't I have any parties without any monsters," she mumbled to herself.

Confused by the sudden disappearance of his pray, the spirit looked around and found two persons who seemed to be still having fun. It was Sereena and Zack who were in one of the private isolated booths. Somehow these two were so deep in conversation that they did not notice the carnage outside. Red field barged inside, scaring both occupants. "What The H-" was Zack able to say before Redfield swatted him away.

"What the hell are you doing!" yelled Sereena, angry again. Redfield was going to grab her when Sereena raised her voice again. "Don't you dare touch me!" she said. Redfield decided to roar at her but his attempts to make the lady scared were in vain. "So this is how it is eh? I'm not scared of people who think they can scream their way," she said. Redfield was going to grab her yet again but Sereena didn't let him. "I said, no TOUCHING!" she said as she grabbed her drink and threw it on the ghost's face, somehow making it wet. "I'm sick of your bullshit. Now I am going to talk and you are going to listen. I had finally found something redeemable in that party, something being Zack and you probably got his a ticket to the hospital. I was already angry that I was forced to come in this party where most persons are sexualised from head to toe. This is especially nerve wracking since a majority of those are women outfits but then now you come in and decide to make me even more angry? This is just wrong and rude!" she yelled as she now took Zack's drink and threw it on Redfield's face again. "You know what you are? Just a petty little bitch. People like you try to showoff how much of an alpha they are. But deep down they know that they are just a puny little bitch inside. They try to act tough thinking this will hide their insecurity but oh boy they are transparent," said Sereena as she tried reaching out for her glass. "God dammit, I'm out of drink thanks to you now. Why do I have to be sober right now, ugh? Anyway ghost dude, I want you to take your trashy little ass and get the fuck out of my way before I get really angry and let me tell you that me being angry is the worst thing that can happen to people understood. I don't care that you can fling people around because I know that deep inside you a just a little bitch who throws temper tantrums around to sound interesting however you end up being really rude and become an attention whore. What are you going to do now? Try to fling me around too? But I bet you have no balls to do so and you will just end up running outside to cry," added Sereena and as she said, Redfield ran towards the exit with a distorted cry.

"Wow, Sereena... you scared an actual ghost away," said Brooke who slowly crawled towards Sereena. "What? It was a real ghost?" said Sereena shocked and Brooke replied with a slight nod. 'Anyway can we just go some place where we can get some alcohol? I don't think this party will be serving now," proposed Sereena. "Let's go to Double Tap . My treat," said Brooke as the two walked away. "With your sphere of prettiness we will likely get those for free, but I don't really mind," smiled Sereena.

------

3 Hours Later

"Don't Worry Imogen! I'm here and I brought some friends along!" said Tom with an ax raised behind him. Along with him were also the rest of his Westchester friends. "Looks like Redfield is looking for more ass kicking," said Stacy. However the group were shocked to find the villa free from any ghosts or people. "Oh hey guys! Sorry, no after party this tie. Can't really party with broken limbs," said Kenji who just arrived from the noise, in his crutches. "But what about Mr.Red? Where is he?" asked Lily. "The ghost? It ran away crying like a child after a woman berated him. A really scary one," said Kenji. "Oh--okay... Let's go then guys," said Lucas.

Roleplay Server Log #390

"Mirabellla Hunting, Grinny's Dinner, Dino in Town, Hide and Seek, Visitation”

[Mirabella] Wanders near the shore, following the faintest trail of loneliness, she normally wouldn't have gone this far from her children, but she was in need of food-

[Mb] is sulking quietly on the shore, and doesn't hear her approach. Celine is nowhere around and he throws a cobble into the water with a plunk.

[Mirabella] Stiffens at the sound and looks around nervously-

[Mb] Let's out the faintest little huff of air, the bit of loneliness is coming from him and it hangs over his demeanor like a small dark cloud.

[Mirabella] Moves a bit closer, drawing the emotion towards her to feed, but she won't get to close. To be fair she's also never really had to hunt for food like this before either

[Mb] Is just wallowing in the emotion since he thinks he's alone.

[Mirabella] She's silent but does gasp as she feels a burst of power from Splender who is in the village-

[Mb] Shoots up and looks around, then up and up. He floats up off the ground and hovers near what would be her eye level. - Humph. I'd offer to fight you, but I hear you people just use sneaky disortion blasts.

[Mirabella] - I... I didn't mean...

[Mb] What? I like to fight. But getting zapped in the first few seconds isn't any fun.

[Mirabella] Backs off alittle, MB's loneliness having disapated since he noticed her presence-

[Mb] What's wrong with you? You look like you could swat me.

[Mirabella] - I... I should be going- She quickly turns around

[Mb] Flies in front of her and settles on the ground again- Surely you ain't scared of me?

[Mirabella] - Ah...- Shrinks back a little

[Mb] Why are you sneaking around anyway... From what I've heard you're welcomed here.

[Mirabella] - I... I was simply... Looking for food...- Her voice gets quieter as she speaks

[Mb] Food? Just raid someones garden. Or fuck, ask anyone in the castle. Half the server can copy shit and just hand it out like candy.

[Mirabella] - That... Is not what we feed off of...

[Mb] Oh you're a demon thing right? Is it something weird?

[Mirabella] - Ah, well... I feed on... Loneliness...

[Mb] Goes quiet - And you found my ass... - he looks at his feet- Well fuck... I guess that's the way it fucking goes. When the kiddo is of playing... aw who am I kidding...? You don't care. Why should anyone give a shit anyway....

[Mirabella] - You have... A child?

[Mb] Shifts uncomfortably - She's a tween... A bitty dragon. But smart as a little human.

[Mirabella] - I see... If you don't mind, I should be returning to my children...

[Mb] Hmmph. - He suddenly perks and looks up at the sound of wingbeats.

[Celine] Dives out of the sky and bowls him over in a big hug, wrapping him in her wings and rolling over and over in the sand- Master!

[Mirabella] Takes a quick step back out of fear-

[Celine] Stops rolling and licks Mb's face playfully- I missed you!

[Mb] Is licked- Cut it out Celine!

[Mirabella] Knows there's no chance of feeding now-

[Celine] Leans on her front claws- Hello! You're pretty. How come you don't have a face? That's a little spooky.

[Mirabella] - I... I'm a slenderbeing...

[Celine] Oh like Splendy? He's so nice!

[Mirabella] - Yes, he is one of my sons

[Celine] You're his mom? Whoah. Hey... wanna see something neat? - She fumbles in her inventory a little and pulls out a beautiful flower bloom. - Lie gave me a flower. Have you met her baby yet?

[Mb] Ho boy....

[Mirabella] - No I have not, my kind give off an energy which might harm so small of a child

[Celine] Oh... well she's really cute!

[Mb] Is obviously resigned to just letting the little dragon chatter happily.

[Mirabella] - I see, well, I must be going

[Celine] Okay. It was nice to meet you Slendermom!

[Mb] Mouths while thumbing at the dragon 'Celine'

[Mirabella] - A pleasure to meet you too, Celine

[Celine] Huge grin and some happy tail thumping that sends up a decent sized cloud of sand under the spiked block on her tail.

[Mirabella] Walks away-

[Alexsezia] Is outside fishing with a slight frown-

[Grinny] Is pacing on the bed inside, he's hungry and irritated-

[Alexsezia] Pulls up a clownfish and scowls at it, before throwing the line back in the water.

-The other cats are avoiding Grinny because of his bad humor.

[Grinny] Finally slinks out into the main room and jumps into a window to glower at Alexsezia-

[Aqua] Is rolling about in the waves-

[Alexsezia] Pulls up a regular fish and tosses it over her shoulder-

-several cats in the yard scramble to rip it to bits playfully-

[Grinny] Yowls-

[Alexsezia] Looks back worriedly- I'm trying!

[Grinny] Scratches at the glass-

[Aqua] Chases a sea dragon towards Alexsezia-

[Alexsezia] Gets soaked as the dragon splashes towards shore trying to get away- Dammit!

-Glass schreeching noises-

[Aqua] Trills-

[Alexsezia] Wringing out her hair. She sits firmly back down and tosses the line in the water again-

[Grinny] Pops the glass and a flood of cats comes out the hole pushing Grinny along with them-

[Alexsezia] Gods dammit.... - she's suddenly surrounded by cats.

[Grinny] Growls as he gets closer- Food. Where is it?

[Alexsezia] I'm working on it. - she gestures towards the pole - I have plenty of chase but no lobsters left.

[Grinny] Swats at another cat- Then hurry up!

[Alexsezia] Gets a tug and pulls up another regular fish. She tosses it backwards and the other cats tear it apart too. - I can't hurry. Jerking the line around just scares the prey away.

[Grinny] Growls and jumps off of Alexsezia's back-

[Alexsezia] Yelps in pain and drops the pole- Why??? You're a cat! You know you have to be patient to catch food!

[Grinny] - No I don't, you humans are supposed to provide it

[Alexsezia] Picks up the pole again - Well I have regular fish, chicken and beef. Pretty sure you won't eat that though.

[Aqua] Swims up near the shore-

[Grinny] Irritated tail flicks-

-There's bit of a ripple as a very big shape swims up alongside Aqua-

[Alexsezia] Peers suspiciously-

[Aqua] Noses the hook of the pole, looking for treats-

[Alexsezia] NO! Don't mess with that!

[Herabrine] Bumps Aqua from below so Alexsezia can pull the pole back-

[Aqua] Is surprised and splashes-

[Grinny] Hisses as he gets wet-

[Herabrine] Churgling at Aqua - The gist seems to be fish for watch out for hooks!

[Alexsezia] Pats Grinny with a carpet square-

[Grinny] Attacks Alexsezia's hands-

[Aqua] Loops around Hera-

[Alexsezia] Tosses the fiber square on top of him instead- You're being an ass!

[Herabrine] Is suprised and pops up in the middle of his coils like a slippery piece of soap-

[Aqua] Nudges Hera-

[Grinny] Angry cat is angry-

[Herabrine] Shifts and hovers over the water- You be careful!

[Alexsezia] Huffs at Grinny in annoyance and dips her scratched up hands in the cold water- Hera!

[Aqua] CIrcles Hera from below-

[Herabrine] Hmm? What?

[Alexsezia] Any chance you could scare up some lobsters for me?

[Herabrine] Looks down into the water- Maybe?

[Grinny] Yowls-

[Alexsezia] Someone's being picky...

[Herabrine] Ah, got it. - She dives straight down into the water with a hard splash.

[Aqua] Chases after Hera-

[Herabrine] Skims around the bottom and forces a small wave with several lobsters crashing up on the shore-

-Other cats scatter and leap away from the water and little snippers-

[Grinny] Focuses on the lobsters before attacking them-

[Alexsezia] Well let me boil them first! They're kinda pinchy!

-Crunch-

[Herabrine] Smiles- Gross. I don't think he minds.

[Alexsezia] Walks around and puts the other lobsters in a bucket- Sheesh...

[Grinny] Tearing the lobster apart-

[Aqua] Squirts Hera-

[Herabrine] Hey! - She lifts up a skinny tentacle of water and squirts Aqua back-

[Aqua] PLayful noises-

-Lots of splashing back and forth-

[Alexsezia] Regards the destroyed lobster- Did it taste good at least?

-A bit of lobster goes flying through the air-

[Alexsezia] You're a mess.

-Even some of the other cats have stopped to watch Grinny savage the crustaceon.

[Grinny] - Give me another

[Alexsezia] I'm going to cook it first. That can't be good for you. At the least I don't want you to barf everywhere.

[Grinny] - Little late for that don't you think?

[Aqua] Squirts Alexsezia-

[Alexsezia] Darn it! I was just getting dry. -She hustles inside to boil the lobster-

[Herabrine] Regards the cat- Little griefer.

[Grinny] Starts following and then it dawns on him, he's outside, he can cause even more chaos-

[Alexsezia] Is mixing up the cooked lobster with chase and other goodies, it's making a rather enticing smell from inside the open door -

[Grinny] Wavers with indecision-

[Herabrine] Is still playing with Aqua but shoots Grinny a look - I've seen that face before. Gk makes it when Sweet Alex starts baking treats. He wants to go run and annoy people, but the temptation is too strong.

[Grinny] - Oh shut up you bitch

[Herabrine] Better a bitch then a pussy. - She sticks her tongue out at the cat and changes back into her Guardian shape before plunking back down into the water-

[Grinny] Would attack her if she wasn't underwater-

[Alexsezia] Has finished the plate of food and walks by the door to put it in it's usual spot. She calls from inside - Grinny? Dinner?

[Grinny] Gives in and heads inside, but uses the still broken window to get in-

[Alexsezia] Backs off so he can eat and goes to fix the window.

[Eliza] Is sitting in the shade of Lies giant tree weaving her silk into a large piece of fabric-

[Chester] Staggers by in her range of sight. He's smiling and obviously a little dizzy.

[Eliza] Frowns a little- Chester? Is everything alright?

[Chester] Smiles rather stupidly and hicupps- Eliza! You're so pretty.

[Eliza] - Oh dear, did you... Did you have alcohol?

[Chester] Nods a little too fast- Yep! Sammmmmm gave me a drink.

[Eliza] - How much?

[Chester] Moves his hands around in a noncommital way and then just gives up- More then one?

[Eliza] - I see, well enjoy the feeling for now, you may regret it later

[Chester] I mostly feel dizzy...

[Eliza] - Then come rest by me

[Chester] But I think I'd rather dance! Everything seems to be moving anyway. - He does a few steps to one side and then the other, kind of stumbling but still relatively graceful. It's like he saw a bird doing a mating dance and is trying to drunkenly imitate it.

[Eliza] Sighs and fires a bit of her silk to draw Chester closer to herself- YOu're going to hurt yourself...

[Chester] OH NO! I'm caught! - He makes a show of ineffectively scrabbling-

[Eliza] Simply shakes her head and parks Chester down next to her before returning her attention to the fabric she's weaving-

[Chester] Nuuuuuuuu. - He's dramatically flopped.

[Eliza] - You're fine, just rest, it's a pleasant day and there isn't much to do

[Chester] Flips upside down with his spider legs in the air and his arms flat and wide. His human fingers brush what she's working on- this is sooooft.

[Eliza] - Thank you, I'm hoping to replace ENdrea's clothes with this cloth

[Chester] Just making her something nicer or did her stuff get wrecked?

[Eliza] - Well, one of my jobs has always been to provide clothes for the generals when in their human forms. It has been some time since I replaced hers

[Chester] Awww... that's nice. - He takes out a bit of yarn and plays it around his fingers until it's a slightly lopsided cats cradle.

[Eliza] - Careful to not get yourself stuck

[Chester] Wiggles his fingers until he has a sort of rope with a loop around each thumb. - Hmmm....

[Eliza] - Are you okay?- She reaches for a nearby chest which is full of dyes

[Chester] I'm good! No problems here! - He wiggles around and now the braid is around one wrist like a friendship bracelet - Um...

[Eliza] Begins applying the dye to the fabric, turning it a lovely shade of royal purple-

[Chester] Ohhhh , can you make it a second color too? Fade-y like? Steve taught me a word... ombre!

[Eliza] - Yes, I can, but that is not my plan for this piece

[Chester] Is very focused on her face and it's obvious he's just lost in watching her work and talk to him- what's it gonna be?

[Eliza] - A new dress, and then I will also need to make her a cloak. I know water does not effect her much in her human form, but it does rain here often, and I want to make certain she's happy

[Chester] Can you make it waterproof??? That's neat!

[Eliza] - Well yes, our silk does repel water

[Chester] Twiddles his feet - I feel silly... you should let your hair down.

[Eliza] Laughs a little- Not right now, I need it out of my way while I work, perhaps later

[Chester] Twiddles his feet at her some more- But I want to play with it. Your hair is lovely.

[Eliza] - Chester... I have to concentrate

[Chester] Scoots over closer and hugs her thorax with his feet, she's warm and fuzzy- Okay... I'll be as quiet as a silverfish.

[Eliza] - You do realize that they are not usually quiet, correct?

[Chester] Tries to make a silverfish noise and just suceeds in spitting a little on the tiles under them-

[Eliza] Smiles at him and continues to work, she's long since used to young spiders crawling all over her to learn how to work their own silk by watching her-

[Chester] Snuggles up close, his eyelids look a bit droopy and his glasses slip down his nose a bit-

[Eliza] Reaches over and takes his glasses off for him, setting them atop the chest next to her-

[Chester] Soft snores into her shirt hem-

[Eliza] Continues her work, eventually covering Chester with her finished fabric for the time being-

[Chester] Snuggles up and mumbles into the fabric- I love you Eliza....

-There's quite a bit of psychic disturbance and some screams coming from the village-

[Lie] Flinches as she feels it and glances at her husband who sighs and starts pulling his clothes back on to go investigate-

[Steve] Has Aether and is outside the wall. Which now has a big hole in it-

[CP] Lands near him having just flown over- The fuck is going on and why do you have my daughter?

[Steve] TLOT's in damage control mode. He sent me out so Aether would be safe.

[CP] - What happened?

-more screams-

[Steve] I... uh...

[CP] Long exasperated noise and heads into the village-

-Lots of kids and Testificates running-

[Jaam] Come running forward with a cake in one hand-

-A large head full of teeth emerges from behind a building. The Testificate is knocked down and screams as the Fruitcake patterned t-rex steals the dessert from his hands -

[CP] - Are you fucking serious?

[Yaunfen] In their dragon shape, but trying not to step on anyone- Bad Fru!

[TLOT] Is trying to do his weight trick but the animal is moving too fast to be easily caught-

[CP] Just goes for a nut shot on Fru-

[Fru] Licks the screaming Testificate and then makes a BLA! face before standing up again. The shot glances off one leg- mrr?

[CP] - Fuck off!

[Yaunfen] Keeps trying to corral Fru with their long body, but the dinosaur just steps over them-

[TLOT] Just help me get him out of the village!

[CP] - Fine!- He spawns some rope and manages to snag Fru-

[Fru] Just tugs it hard and the lead breaks-

[Yaunfen] Tries shoving them with their blunt horns-

[CP] - You know... I could still be fucking my wife you know!

[TLOT] Shouts back- It's not like I decided to ruin your day on purpose!

[Yaunfen] Sorry Big Fire!!!!

[Fru] Sticks head in the window of the gay bar and shatters it-

[Yaunfen] Fuck!

[CP] - Oh for fucks sake... Can we just not? [Ding Ding] Goes barrelling past mooing-

[Fru] Stomps over to Cp and licks him, looking for more sugar-

[CP] Punches Fru-

[Fru] Is punched. It kinda sounds like someone hitting a bag of coathangers and has the same relative effect. The dinosaur roars at Cp and basically covers him in somewhat sticky spittle.

[Yaunfen] Is trying to pull the dino by the tail and having no luck-

[TLOT] Is just trying to keep his villagers out of harms way now-

[CP] Sets himself on fire-

[Fru] Curious noise, and then just walks past Cp to stick their nose into the flower shop-

[CP] - TLOT... Deal with the fucking dino

[TLOT] WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO DO??? PEOPLE COME FIRST.

[Yaunfen] Does a bull run at Fru and knocks them sideways towards the hole in the wall-

[Fru] Scrabbling to get up-

[CP] Panics, knowing his daughter is in that direction and bolts towards her-

[Steve] Is farther down the path and ready to bolt for Markus's house if the rex comes towards him-

[CP] Relaxes a little seeing his daughter is nowhere near harms way-

[Fru] Stumbles around a bit and nearly steps on one of the skeleton riders trying to get out of their way-

[CP] Flies up and launches himself at Fru's back to knock them out of the village-

[Fru] Is shoved forward and stumbles back out onto the path toward's Lie's house-

[Steve] Makes a dead run for Markus's house-

[Notch] Pokes his head outside- What the hell is going on? HOLY SHIT. IS THAT A FRUITCAKE MONSTER????

[Lie] Threw on one of CP's spare shirts- [Aether] Starts crying-

[Yaunfen] Runs out after them- Fru heel!

[Steve] No! Don't cry Aether!

[TLOT] Stomps out of the village and transforms in a billow of bedrock fog. A vast enderdragon emerges from the cloud and roars a challenge at the dinosaur-

[Fru] Mrrr???!!

[Yaunfen] Don't hurt him please!

[TLOT] Charges the dino and grabs it in his paws before headbutting them rather violently-

[Lie] Teleports to her child-

[CP] Moves to place himself between his family and the dinosaur-

[TLOT] Wrestles with Fru and gets them in a headlock-

[Steve] Sorry Lie, she got scared!

[Notch] Runs out to help-

[Fru] -Huge roar-

[Lie] - That's not surprising!- She takes her baby and cradles her, trying to calm her

[Yaunfen] Dancing around unhappily, not sure what to do.

[Notch] Tries his Fus on Fru, yelling at the top of his lungs-

[TLOT] Freezes in place and then thrashes sideways because it hurt his ears too-

[Lie] Looks around for a clear spot and spawns a bunch of her purple flowers which smell like chocolate away from the group-

[Fru] Excited sniffing!

[Mix, in chat] What is all that racket??!!

[Notch] Sorry TLOT...

[TLOT] Clutching his head with his paws.

[Yaunfen] chat- Fru's being bad!

[Fru] Goes for the flowers and chomps them up before spitting them back out in irritation- RRRRRAAAAAA!

[Mix] Pick Fru up like I showed you???

[Yaunfen] chat- Too big!

[Mix] Did Fru grow????

[Yaunfen] YES.

[Mix] OH OKAY. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS, I'LL BRING HELP

[Yaunfen] By the village!

[Mix] Okay I'm coming, keep Fru busy!

[TLOT] Shakes off the headache and pounces on Fru, the two roll into the pen of honesty blossoms and crush the fence.

[Chain chomp] Gets loose and flees towards Cp with a lot of unhappy barking-

[Blake] Has heard the commotion and is also barking wildly-

[Yaunfen] Okay....

[CP] Goes to check on Lie- Take Aether inside, it's safer

[Lie] - I know, just, help TLOT deal with this. Are you coming with me Steve?

[Steve] Yes please. I don't think I can be much help here since we're not actually trying to kill it.

[Lie] - Notch?

[TLOT] Gets kicked and swats Fru across the nose-

[Notch] I'm coming.

[Lie] Leads them inside, shushing Aether while CP turns his attention back towards Fru-

[TLOT] Swats at the dino with his wings, he's trying to knock them out-

[Yaunfen] very upset-

[Mix and MA] - Come running, MA has his staff out. -

[TLOT] Bites at Fru. They're just trading blows like boxers now-

[Mix] Hi TLOT! -Pulling some of her rock candy blocks out, knowing Fru likes them- Let Fru come here, please?

[TLOT] Backs off with a huff, still growling-

[Fru] Sniff... sniff... SNUFFLE!

[Yaunfen] That smells good....

[Fru] Advances on Mix with open jaws and overly sweet breath.-

[Mix] - a bit shaky but standing tall and holding the rock candy to Fru- Hey buddy....

[MA] - Standing beside Mix with his staff out incase Fru doesn't stop. -

[Fru] Grabs the whole block and slobbers on Mix in the process- NOM

[Yaunfen] Sneaks over - can I have one?

[Mix] Yeah, you like those right? - Pats Fru's chin with her hand and starts stepping back, popping another block into her hand. This one's green, still very sweet- If you want, Yaunfen. Where do you want Fru? Because I can tell not here.

[Yaunfen] Takes the block and licks it- I don't know... they broke out of their pen.

[TLOT] Angry dragon loaf- Somewhere not my village.

[Yaunfen] Big Fire could build something. Mada says they like big builds. No lie.

[Mix] -gets another block out to lure Fru with - You'll need somewhere really big. Fru is still gonna get bigger.

[MA] I'd say it has... Two? More growth spurts? Unless it was a runt then maybe three? - scrunching face in thought-

[CP] - We could put it in the cage, just tnt a path to it

[TLOT] roars - Fuck no! My whole world is in there!

[CP] - But I really don't feel like building, besides you can probably build a pen faster

[TLOT] Growls-

[Yaunfen] But you're so good at it! Mada said your office alone was huge!

[CP] - Yeah, but I'm tired...

[Yaunfen] Tiny sad whine-

[CP] - Besides, it just needs stronger walls most likely

[Fru] Lots of slurping like it's eating a giant jawbreaker-

[Blake] Barks at Fru-

[Chain Chomp] Sits on Cp's foot.

[CP] - How about this, as soon as you actuallt figure out what sort of walls it needs, then you can come talk to me

[Mix] For walls... I think it's iron? Is that what was in the King's place? - looks at MA questioningly-

[MA] Yeah it was iron to keep him in there.

[TLOT] Annoyed tail lashing- what about the desert? There's a clear spot beyond the gym. Before you reach mix's area

[Yaunfen] Iron...? That's so... Ugly and cold...

[Mix] Ah yes i can see Fru every morning. I can feed Fru if you want.

[MA] I know. We usually covered it with stone in a pattern.

[Mix] Hmmm... But it might need to be iron from your seed Yaunfen...

[CP] - It would have to be from TLOT's, anything that comes from Yaunfen's seed Fru can eat. Besides, the mod originates from TLOT's seed

[Mix] But the variant is candy based. Mmm. Maybe we should get both...

[CP] - Mix up the ingots? I don't know if that will work.

[Mix] Maybe use half and half blocks? Use some of both in each wall and see what lasts?

[CP] - We could try, but what do we do with Fru in the meantime?

[Mix] Fru should be content for now, just find somewhere open and keep some sugar stuff to keep them busy.

[TLOT] You could do a checkerboard pattern with both types. - he's calming down but still annoyed. There are a few Testificates that have crept up behind him and are peeking at Fru from behind his massive wings.

[Fru] Happy cooing noise and the sound of them sucking on the very hard candy.

[Yaunfen] holding a block in one paw and licking it occasionally- I just don't want them to be sad...

[TLOT] At Cp. - We're all painfully aware that you want to fuck your wife, Cp, but that doesn't make the things that need to be done go away.

[CP] Groans and sets himself on fire-

[Fru] Wanders over to the greenhouse and sniffs around the roof-

[TLOT] Simmer down hot stuff

-assorted Testificate gasps- [Basquet] Shouldnt we have put him out?

[CP] - Hold on a sec- He goes off in the direction of the bay

[TLOT] He's fine

[CP] Returns and throws somebody down. It's Stevie, and he takes maybe half a heart of damage from the fall-

[Stevie] - Why!?

[Notch] From the window- don't throw your brother around!

[CP] - Oh shut up!

[Stevie] - So what's my brother trying to push off on me now?

[Yaunfen] Hi Stevie!

-Friendly Testificate waves-

[CP] - You'd just be doing something you're good at

[TLOT] Toothy grin- it's one of the things Steves are best at...

[Yaunfen] blowjobs?

[TLOT] shush.

[Stevie] Turns bright red- What!? No! Yaunfen, I don't do that!

[Mix] Find things they shouldn't?

[MA, under breath] You definitely did a lot of that...

[CP] - You need to go digging

[Stevie] Very suspiciously- For what and where?

[Mix] Iron.

[Fru] Notices Stevie and stomps over to sniff him. Still drooling around their huge teeth.

[Stevie] Ice spikes in defense-

[Mix] Hey!! Don't do that. Fru's just smelling.

[Stevie] - It's terrifyingly huge!

[Mix] And? Half the things i grew up near could have killed me by stepping on me. Fru is friendly for now, if hungry and curious.

[Stevie] - Yeah well I didn't grow up with that stuff!

[Mix] ...Mmm... fair, I guess.

[CP] - Just go to TLOT's seed

[Stevie] Looking at TLOT- Is my brother somehow going to be tormented during this?

[TLOT] Well considering that you can't fly, he'll likely get stuck assembling the raw materials you find.

[Fru] Dodged back from the ice spike but then curiously bites one off. They immediately spit it back out though, as it is not actually a Popsicle with any flavor.

[CP] - I'm not helping you dig if that's what you're getting at

[Stevie] - Where's Lie?

[CP] - Why?

[Stevie] - So I can get her to tell you to go with me

[Yaunfen] She's in the house with Aether.

[Stevie] Bolts for the house-

[CP] - Get back here!- Chases after him

[Yaunfen] go Stevie! Go!

[Stevie] Scrambles into the workroom but is tackled by his brother-

[Lie] Is sitting near the lava with Steve and Notch. She's feeding Aether who is still a little fussy but covered by a blanket as she suckles-

[Steve] Points at Lies boob- I always wondered what those were actually for.

[Notch] -Sighs- Please do not flatten your brother either.

[Lie] - The same thing as all female mammals? Producing milk?

[CP] - Oh shut up

[Stevie] Is trying to escape his brother-

[Steve] Yeah, but you don't have grab cows and suck on them. You just use a bucket?

[Notch] Do I have to seperate you two?

[Lie] - Steve? Calfs drink like this from the moms

[Stevie] - He's trying to send me somewhere!

[CP] - Oh it's perfectly safe!

[Steve] I've never been much for keeping cows... chickens are easier.

[Notch] Wait, send you where?

[Aether] Finishes and fusses-

[Lie] - Oh alright, just hang on and I'll burp you

[CP] Is clamping a hand over Stevie's mouth to prevent him from saying more- It's nowhere too dangerous!

[Notch] Just let him talk.

[Steve] Oh! TLOT says he'll go with anyway.

[Lie] - CP, let Stevie go- She covers herself and puts Aether against her chest, lightly bumping the babies back to make her burp [CP] Grumbles but does back off- [Stevie] - They want me to dig up iron on TLOT's seed?

[Steve] It's not a big deal. It's not much more dangerous then here.

[Stevie] - I filled that one city with snow... And last time we went there were giant things that could kill us

[Steve] No one minded. A lot of them had never seen it before. And that was that one chunk, that's not normal.

[Stevie] - Still... That's why I'd prefer brother come too, so I can concentrate on digging and he gets the fighting out of his system

[Notch] Sounds fair to me.

[Steve] Smiles - Come on Stevie. I thought you liked mining with me?

[Stevie] Thumbs at his brother- Yeah but if he's making me do this then he should participate too

[Aether] Burps and spits up a little-

[Steve] Well yeah, we can both bring our brines! It's safer that way.

[Notch] Helps her blot the baby-

[Aether] Burbles and reaches a hand out towards Notch-

[Lie] - Aww, do you want Farfar? And CP? You should go, a bit of murdering things would probably be good for you...

[Notch] She wants me to hold her? -He looks touched.

[Steve] Thumbs at Lie - there you go, you even got permission.

[CP] Aggravated noises-

[Lie] Holds Aether out to Notch- You'll be fine CP, Aether and I will be here when you get back

[Notch] Takes the baby and coos at her.

[Steve] Come on Stevie, it'll be fun!

[Stevie] - Fine

[CP] Is grumbling-

[Aether] Happy noises!

[Notch] Very happy-

[Steve] Yes! Oh! Cp, you should bring your black tools, I never see you use them.

[CP] - How about no

[Steve] aw man...

[Stevie] - Actually, the last time I genuinely saw him use them was... Damn, how long ago was that? [CP] - After Aurum's passing

[Steve] Stevie... you know Aurum is still around right? I just saw him this morning. Actually, seeing Aether put him in a really jovial mood.

[CP] - You mean that old fucker knows about her now too!?

[Stevie] - I... Never met him before...

[Steve] Well yeah... we were in the forge. We figured the heat would keep Aether happy. And if you want to meet him, go ask Tungsten or Drillby in the village.

[Notch] Someone got warm and sleepy like a little kitten, yes she did!

[Stevie] - Okay?- He doesn't understand Aurum's significance

[CP] - So are we going to fucking go or what?

[Lie] - That... Actually raises a good point Notch...

[Steve] He's the guy. The one that made Cp's obsidian stuff. He's a super old Testificate. I mean old, like even for a dead guy.

[Stevie] - Okay then. Surprising that brother ever actually befriended one...

[Steve] He's funny, kind of an old perv too.

[CP] - Why don't you both shut up [Aether] Plays with the front of Notch's shirt a little-

[Steve] You should have seen his face when he found out Cp had a wife...

[TLOT] Can be heard giggling outside because he's listening.

[CP] - I said shut up!

[Lie] Goes over to CP and gently pulls CP into a kiss- Calm down, once your done with this we can have a nice meal and cuddle

[Steve] Awww.

[Yaunfen] Is keeping Fru entertained outside and the two run past-

[CP] - Fine, lets go get the stuff for the god damn fucking cage

[Steve] That's the spirit!

[Sally] Is playing hide and seek with Splender and Slender and she's run over by Lies place to find a hiding spot-

[Francis] Makes the smallest grunt of suprise as Sally runs into his legs at full force- rrrk?

[Sally] Oof!- She looks up- Oh hi big piggy!

[Francis] isn't sure if she'll understand so he keeps a friendly tone- you're a bit small to be running around alone. Do you need help?

[Sally] Doesn't understand- Can you help me find a hiding spot? I'm playing with Papa and Uncle Splendy!

[Francis] I see... Okay. - he decides to lead her to the bathhouse and shows her a spot behind a trunk near the door - Moth is swimming in one of the pools and gives him a curious look. - just keep the little one away from the lava.

[Moth] Understood.

[Sally] Giggles and ducks down behind the trunk- Thank you!

[Moth] Watches her curiously for a little bit and climbs out of the water. She turns away to shake off and slips on a robe before walking over- I hope you haven't chosen a hiding spot that's too good. We wouldn't want your guardians to be upset...

[Sally] Looks up- Sorry, I don't know what you're saying...

[Moth] Just sighs and sits down next to her. She fusses in her inventory and offers Sally a cookie instead.

[Sally] Her face lights up and happily takes it- Thank you!

[Moth] Just a smile and a nod

[Splender] Is teleporting about, searching for his quarry but for the most part avoiding Lies place to not upset the baby-

[Moth] Catches sight of his sparkle trail outside and makes a little surprised grunt.

[Splender] Teleports around a bit, genuinely getting concerned that Sally may be hiding at Lie's place-

[Moth] Is unnerved by the slender so close to the house and indicates them to Sally-

[Sally] Giggles- I'm playing hide and seek with him!

[Moth] forgets the child can't understand her- Oh dear... Maybe not so close to the baby? Emp could really hurt her. - her tone is one of obvious worry-

[Sally] - It's okay! He always finds me! He's really good!

[Moth] Indicates that the child should stay put and goes outside to find a mob that can speak common.

-Unfortunately most of the mobs are busy at the moment and the generals are having a meeting- [Splender] Worried noise and wonders if he should get Slender-

[Moth] Gets frustrated and waves at Splender-

[Splender] Spots them and waves back-

[Moth] Ventures closer to him and speaks quietly- Can you understand me?

[Splender] - Do you need something?

[Moth] -facepalm- She waves her hands around to indicate 'female' and 'small' and then shades her eyes like she's looking for something.

[Splender] - Ah! Yes! I am looking for a child right now!

[Moth] Points at the bathhouse.

[Splender] - Oh dear... I... I can't go there right now...

[Moth] Spreads her hands, like she's at a loss.

[Splender] - I don't wish to risk leaving any traces of emp where it could effect the baby...

[Moth] Both hands open and forward and then points at the ground like 'stay here'. She backs off and heads for the bathhouse again. Looking around inside for the little girl.

[Sally] Is still in her hiding spot-

[Moth] Taps her lightly and then holds her arms open for a hug-

[Sally] Shakes her head- I can't! Splendy might see!

[Moth] small swear word. And then goes back outside. She stands in the doorway for a long moment and then climbs onto the roof. She looks around from the higer vantage point and searches the sky with narrowed eyes. There's a bit of movement high above and she pulls out a torch before waving it wildly in the air.

-There's a bit of a grumpy roar and Gk flaps down and lands in the yard with a huff. -

[Gk] Oh, it's you. What you want?

[Moth] There's a little girl hiding inside who can't understand me and a Slenderbeing looking for her who also can't understand me and doen't want to get closer to the house because of the baby.

[Gk] Taps over to the door and squeaks it open with his head, tasting the air with his tongue- Sally?

[Sally] - Shhh! I'm hiding!

[Gk] Swishes his tail a little- Yeah, I know. You're hiding too close to Lie's house. Splender won't come any closer because his waves might hurt Aether.

[Sally] - Awwww, but I found a really good spot!

[Gk] Yeah... but he can't find you here so.... stalemate. I guess you won?

[Sally] Finally comes out with a pout-

[Gk] Why so glum?

[Sally] - Because I thought I had a really good spot! But now we can't play...

[Gk] You can play, just play in a different spot. Why don't you go play in the castle? That monstrosity was made for hide and seek.

[Sally] - But Splendy said we could only play one round! Then I have to take a bath...

[Gk] Meh... baths. I'll ask him myself. - The big dragon saunters up to Splender, his face is actually level with his. - Hey Splendy. The kid picked a spot too close to Lie's house. You should let her hide somewhere else since this was out of bounds.

[Splender] - Oh dear, I was worried she'd done that... Well, I suppose one more round can be arranged, just so long as brother doesn't find out

[Gk] Well I ain't gonna tell anyone. - He gestures with a wing at Moth, who has climbed down and walked over near one of his feet. - And neither of you can understand her nether-talk. This is Moth by the way.

[Splender] - Greetings!

[Sally] Is still in the bath house-

[Gk] So just yell for her, I know your big bro is pretty loud.

[Splender] - Sally? Come here please! We need to restart our game!

[Sally] Finally comes out and runs over-

[Gk] There you go.

[Splender] - Thank you for the help GK!- He takes Sally's hand and starts leading her off-

-Night falls softly and the shadows creep across the desert. The moon sails serenely across the sky as Ma turns uneasily in his bed. His dreams are troubled and leave him feeling nauseated and unsure. He recoils under the sensation of being watched and wakes with a sudden start. The house seems darker then it should be. The mobs seem distant and muffled but everything else magnified to an uncomfortable degree. A drip of water here, a torch suddenly crackling more then it should. A few stray particles in a shadow, too small to be anything he knows. and then, a soft knock on his front door-

[MA] - Shudders in his bed after waking up so suddenly. He extends his hand toward his lamp and the thing lights up dully. He almost doesn't hear the gentle knock on the other side of his home. He slides out of bed and throws a shirt on before padding through the building to the front door. - Coming...

-He opens the door a little bit -

[Doc] is standing outside with a somewhat vacant look. The only light is the pale glow of hir eyes. Xe's weaponless despite the night and the mobs are curiously absent considering the ripe opportunity to strike. - ...

[MA] Doc? Why're you here?

[Doc] sounds bad, like hir glitch is worse then usual- I heard you found something on TLOTs seed...

[MA] Uhh.... - thoughtful look- Yeah actually... Why do you ask?

[Doc] May I... Have it?

[MA] I don't know Doc, it made TLOT pretty sick when it was out? What if you get sick too?

-there's a certain thickness in the air and a hot wind like something large breathing...-

[Doc] That's a chance... I'll have to take... If it makes him sick I need to study it. He is one of our strongest brines.

[MA] - is a bit sleep foggy so he doesn't notice much off. - You for sure? It made him pretty sick... - hesitant -

[Doc] Seemed to get closer without moving- yeeesssssssss.

[MA] - backs up a bit, unnerved - If you're sure... I put it away, I'll go grab it. You can... Come in if you want... - steps back and leaves the door open a bit for hir before going to retrieve the item-

[Doc] Smiles in a really unnerving way and pauses at the threshold before stepping deliberately over it -

-The entrance way is cluttered with knick knacks, including a string of shiny gemstones hanging along the ceiling. A few bookshelves along one wall with a few ratty old books. MA is digging through a chest near the door to the next room, throwing several odd things around. -

[Doc] Seems to be in a bit of a trance and touches things idly, just exploring their surfaces. The room seems darker then it should be as well-

-They've left the door open behind them as well, and stand silhouetted in the moonlight. Just eyes in a shadow.

[MA] Hmmm... Let's see... Not this... This? Yeah. - He pulls the white object out of the chest.- Doc? Here it is.

[Doc] Hir eyes sparkle and xe takes it greedly. There's no reaction, they merely nod and turn to leave.

[MA] - grabs Doc's coat gently absent-mindedly- Be safe out there, Doc...

[Doc] Stops short as their hand contacts the fabric, a crackle rippling across what's obviously a skin as empty as a fresh Steve. The head of the figure turns slowly all the way around on the shoulders to face MA. The voice is wrong and gutteral.- why did you have to do that? We were having such a peaceful... transaction... - Suddenly the darkness seems to leap forward with icy tendrils out of every crack and shadow. It blinds the Alex as even the texture clips through his fingers. He's falling, screaming soundlessly into a cold airless void as his very soul is torn apart in the center of a black hole. And then...

-He wakes with a start in his own bed. It's morning.

29 Neibolt ST (Monster Roommate AU) CH 27

FINALLY FINISHED THIS!! So the monsters try really hard to figure out why they aren't monsters any more. Turns out they cant focus for five minutes without going off on a weird tangent about washing machines and butts. Papawise is gonna have to try to get these idiots to be productive. Good luck papa you’re gonna need it.

CH 27

Focusing is Hard

“Are we going to address this human problem now?”

Freddy and Drac sat on the couch already breaking into Chucky’s beer stash as Leech plopped herself onto Robert’s lap on the loveseat. the former clown brought a long arm around her and nuzzled his nose into her drying hair. “Mmm you smell just like me” he growled. “I wonder why” Leech giggled and kissed his jaw line. Freddy nearly gagged.

“*AHEM* SO is that a no on the problem solving then?” he asked the ex-nosferatu.

“Fred like either of us have any idea how this happened at all.”

“Well did you two do anything? I dunno like did you activate some curse or something? Maybe pissed off a witch?”

“What witch is powerful enough to turn Pennywise human? Let alone a whole town full of over powered evil.” Leech crossed her legs over the side of the chair getting comfy.

“I love it when you call me powerful.” Robert beamed with pride from having his ego stroked.

“Focus Bob” She scolded him.

As they discussed their options there was a clatter in the basement followed by a wheeze. Everyone froze solid looking at eachother and back down the hall. “Do we go investigate?” the nosferatu asked hesitantly.

“Isn’t that usually how humans get killed by us?” Freddy grumbled.

“Holy shit being on the other side of the horror movie sucks balls” Leech picked up a beer bottle in defence peering down the hall.

“I’ll go. You all would be such easy targets.” Robert rolled his eyes. His companions’ fears starting to annoy him.

“Like hell you are! We all know what happens when the prey splits up!” Leech grabbed his arm before he could march into any more danger.

“Lets just all go together then. Can’t be anything too terrible with everyone being turned human.” Freddy handed Dracula a broken piece of wood who glanced over at his roommate in confusion.

“We’re so going to die” the ex nosferatu groaned.

The former monsters approached the door leading to the basement where they could hear more panting and wheezing which seemed to get louder and louder. Leech hesitantly opened the door which made an extremely ominous creak causing the ex-vampire to grip her bottle tighter. They peered into the basement, everyone silently cursing Penny for making his house as equally scary as himself. Something wet and dark flopped out of the well gasping like a fish out of water. Robert felt both his arms get grabbed by Leech and Freddy at once while Drac clung to his roommate from behind. The weight of 3 grown adults clinging to his silk robe like baby sloths nearly pulled the former eldritch to the ground and he gave them all an angry scowl. “Really?!” he hissed. The wet thing began to stand it looked like a person, a very tired and pissed off person.

“I just walked for MILES through the freezing sewer, so you MORONS better tell me what the hell is going on right now or there will be consequences!” they said.

The man finally came into view. He looked quite different without the giant red nose.

“U-Uncle Penny?” Leech stuttered the man rung out the wet shirt he had clearly killed someone for as there was a large blood stain on the collar.

“This is what you look like as humans? Jesus Junior those pants tight enough?”

“Theyre Freddy’s…” Robert looked off to the side.

“Actually I think those are mine!” Leech pulled at his pants to inspect the pocket “Yeah theres the hole in the pocket!”

“Leechie why does Krueger have your pants?” If Robert still had fangs theyd be out.

“Oh calm down Fred and I swap clothes all the time.” she waved him off and rolled her eyes at his jealousy.

“Yeah Fangs does laundry at our place cause you won’t get a washer dryer”

“There’s a wash tub right over there!” Robert snarled at the former dream demon in annoyance. First it was wifi and microwaves now its modern washing machines! How is anyone going to be scared when they walk into the haunted house on Neibolt if theyre greeted with the scent of clean laundry and hot pockets.

“The 1800s were over a long ass time ago Bob!” Leech complained she had been trying to get him to change his mind on this for weeks now.

“I am trying to cultivate an atmosphere that generates fear! Dryer sheets and laundry detergent create the opposite effect Leech!”

“Sheesh Junior you take your interior decorating a bit too seriously.” his uncle rolled his eyes at his younger counterpart.

“Will all of you please drop the washer/dryer thing”

“IS THE CLOWN FINALLY GETTING A WASHING MACHINE?” came Tiffany’s voice from upstairs

“Look you’re in the minority here Robert, just let us get something basic.”

“Yeah Jingles, that way Fangs will stop leaving her pants at our place.” Freddy grumbled.

“Hey now I remember you saying you liked those pants and I let you borrow them!” Leech snapped.

“Yeah alright fine. Theyre good pants, I mean look at how great Jingles’ ass looks in them!” Freddy spun Robert around and slapped his ass howling in laughter at Robert’s enraged reaction.

“O să discutăm acum despre problema noastră?” ((will we talk about our problem now?)) Dracula asked. He had no idea what anyone was saying or why they were all humans all he knew was that he wanted to get back to being immortal as soon as possible.

“I dont speak French Dracula!” Uncle Penny grumbled.

“Oh my god how does that remotely even sound like French? Its fucking Romanian!” Leech snapped at him defending her extremely confused mentor.

“Whatever. Can all of you focus for just five minutes?! That’s all I’m asking for here. As soon as we figure out why the hell I can’t shape shift you can all go back to blabbering about eachother’s butts!” The older eldritch groaned in frustration.

“Ok but you have to agree theyre great pants though!”

“FIVE MINUTES KRUEGER!”

“Pff youre asking a lot, Freddy came over to do the same thing and within the first hour we all ended up being violently attacked by the cat and Robert lost a finger.” leech held up Robert’s injured hand.

“You lost a finger Junior? How do you fuck up this bad?”

“THATS WHAT I SAID!” Tiffany yelled once again from upstairs

“By the way, there a reason the dolls arent joining us in figuring this out?” Freddy asked Leech ignoring the enraged Uncle Penny’s complaints.

“A) I dont think they want to, and B) I’m pretty sure from the Rob Zombie music blasting from their room and the creaking bed springs theyre uh..busy..” Leech said.

“Gross” Robert snarled.

“JINGLES YOU’RE NOT MUCH BETTER!” Chucky shouted down.

“Unbelievable. You couldnt even do one minute of concentration! Were never getting back to normal jesus.” The elder eldritch tilted his head up at the ceiling growing tired of the other monsters constant distractions.

“Fine where do you suggest we start because we’re all out of ideas here.” Leech snapped.

“Did you even try having any ideas in the first place?”

The monsters opened their mouths to speak and immediately closed them. Ok so maybe they haven’t been the most proactive about this.

“Can we at least take this out of the basement then and get more beer before we start? I think I’m going to develop asthma from all the dust down here.” Leech began to walk back up the stairs to the kitchen. “You boys can either join me or stay down here in the dark. I’m out.” The other monsters shrugged and followed suit.

—————-

“Ok so we need to narrow down who is powerful enough to turn an entire town of powerful entities into humans.” Uncle Penny began drinking the beer Leech had got him from Chucky’s nearly empty stash.

“I can think of no one.” the younger vampire said.

“You haven’t been with us very long Leechie.” Robert patted her on the head.

“Wait isnt today Halloween?” Freddy asked having a rare appiphany.

“Yeah so?” Uncle Penny took another long swig of the beer surpriesed that he liked it so much.

“Yeah doesnt that mean certian supernatural parties are stronger today?” Leech asked

“Oh fuck ive heard of this before. Did any of you break the rules of Halloween?” Freddy asked, he had seen something like this in another town once. People who broke tradition on Halloween that night had bad things happen to them.

“There’s rules to this holiday?” Robert raised an eyebrow and tried to drink Leech’s beer grimacing at the tast and shoving it back into her hands. Everyone turned to him and glared.

“What did you do Jingles”

“Why are you accusing me?”

“Bob what did you fucking do?”

—————-

“YOU STOLE HIS WHAT?”

“I thought he was a regular child!!” Robert snarled. He recalled a small boy in an orange scarecrow outfit in the haunted house that just was not scared of him. He tried everything eventually getting frustrated and snatching the boy’s candy bag and vanishing to go find his mate. He had no idea he had just stolen from Samhain, who for one night a year was the most powerful being in existance.

“Wait hold on you fucking stole the spirit of Halloween’s bag of candy after you couldnt scare him because your feelings were hurt!?” Leech had hopped out of his lap and pushed her hands through her hair.

“He had no fear and I couldnt just let him get away! All the candy bars had razors in them anyway..”

“Where’s the fucking bag now Robert??” She grabbed his robe in her fists.

“In my lair I was going to eat around the knives!”

“Jesus christ Junior you must have really pissed him off!”

“How do we fix this then just give him back the bag?” Freddy asked.

“That’s a start….” The ex vampire took a long drink from her beer.

“Where would we find the little brat though?” Uncle Penny asked.

“Probably where the celebrations are thickest. That’s where I’d go for a holiday about me.” Freddy added.

“Looks like were going to have to do a traditional human halloween then. Let’s get some costumes carve some pumpkins and get me another god damn drink.” Leech sighed, it was going to be a long difficult day.

—————-

“Ok so what im thinking is if the Cenobites are still throwing their big ass Halloween party then thats probably a good place to start since that thing is going to be huge. Which means if were going everyone is going to first need a costume.” Leech and the rest of the former monsters stood in the center of town finally making it out of the house.

“Yeah one, none of us were invited and two, theres going to be nothing left in the stores. Except the sexy stuff and there is no way im going as sexy thing that should never be made sexy…maybe Jingles will though that seems like his wardrobe of choice.” Freddy grumbled keeping a firm grasp on the poor overwhelmed Prince Vlad.

“Well sorry for being too tall to fit into your clothes which are made for small women” Robert sneered at the former dream demon. He was getting strange looks left and right for his overly tight pants/ pink bathrobe combo. Leech took note of it when a few girls stopped and stared while giggling amongst themselves. The ex vampire grabbed her mate’s arm glaring daggers at the women. Robert put two and two together and shot her an amused smile “Really?” he asked her. “We need to get you some real clothes” she grumbled.

“How are we getting into this party then if we weren’t invited?” Uncle Penny interrupted them. “We’re not exactly equipped for sneaking in and out of places anymore.”

“Crashing will be easy, its taking on an all powerful being as humans that will be extremely difficult.” Leech stated. she had crashed many a party in her teens when she used to deal pot to rich kids getting in wouldnt be a problem.

“And what are we gonna do when we catch the twerp? Shake and yell?” the older eldritch asked.

“I have a feeling rattling his brains and screaming at him is probably a bad way to appease the god of Halloween to change us back” Freddy added.

“Well I’m not saying I’m sorry” Robert growled. There was no way he was going to beg some young pagan god to forgive him.

“You do realise as humans we can die now right? You better fucking say youre sorry Bob” his mate scolded him.

“Seriously Jingles what if were stuck like this for a whole year?” freddy added realizing the entire monster population depended on the proudest thing in existence to admit he fucked up. They were doomed.

“I do not beg.”

“Ha! That’s a load bullshit! I’ve heard it!” Leech laughed.

“Leech! that’s….thats different…” Robert hissed

“we’ve all heard it Jingles anyone with a drain has heard it at some point.”

The former clown looked off to the side and grumbled something unintelligble.

“All right look, we need to hurry up and get something for us to wear to this thing. I’ll take the clowns. Freddy you try to handle your roommate.”

“Good luck with that.” Uncle Penny said eyeing the frantic looking prince.

“Just call me when he eventually breaks something” Leech grabbed the eldritchs and made her way to the nearest store.

—————-

“Robert what the hell is that?” both Leech and “Uncle Bob” as he decided to call himself, stared at Robert Gray in confusion as he exited a near by restroom

“You said buy a costume.”

“Ok but I thought youd get another clown costume why the hell are you Spiderman?” his mate placed her fingers over her temples. Of course hed pick out something like this.

“I’m a giant spider trapped as a man I thought it was fitting.”

“Yeah but I’m going as a ring master and…..you know what never mind, fuck me for trying” leech groaned it was hard enough to control two eldritch horrors in a crowded Halloween store already, trying to coordinate anything was off the table at this point.

“I’m going as the devil!” Uncle Bob announced proudly pointing to his horns.

“Yeah Im pretty sure Phil is not going to be too excited about that.”

“Ah fuck Phil. He thinks hes hot shit with his whole goat yoga scheme right now. This is how a real lure is done!” the former clown gestured to the red and black suit he was wearing smugly.

“Did you…put paint…on your face?” Leech sniffed the air, it reeked of paint fumes.

“Yeah! Spray paint! It burns a little but man do I look good!”

“I think the fumes are going to your head old man” Robert folded his long arms over the spider logo on his chest.

“Jesus christ neither of you would survive a day as humans without my help.” Leech grumbled as the clowns began to argue once again. She ignored the inevitable chaos and got out her phone groaning loudly over the 6 missed calls from Freddy. No doubt they were about something Dracula had done. Robert yellped when Uncle Bob whacked him on the head with his plastic pitch fork. Leech debated taking a photo of them for later blackmail but decided she should probably find out what the hell happened to Freddy first. As she was about to call him back she doubled over in pain. Something just went wrong in her abdomen. Something she’d never thought she’d feel again.

------------

Feathers- Testing, Testing

While Julien “interns” at the local police station, Brooke reads a mysterious book she picked up at the library. They meet up later and realize that they’ve found another piece of the puzzle.

“What’s the ink?“ Julien asked.

“It’s regular old printer ink. But the paper’s... been wet and dried out.“ The forensic scientist showed off the paper to Julien. “You see that? The wrinkles?“

“They’re only around the sigil, though.“ Julien traced it with their finger. “See? Someone traced the sigil with water. Probably the victim.“

“That’s correct.“ The forensic scientist studied the sigil. “Now our techsperts ran this thing through various image searches, but they couldn’t find any match. Our guess is that it’s some kind of demonic summoning circle.“

“Wasn’t Viola Christian?“

“That’s the thing. But then again, people who are restrained to one side of life often like to dabble in the other.“

“And you’re sure it’s standard printer paper?“ Julien asked. “Have you performed a burn test?“

“Nope, and we don’t need to.“

“What do you mean, you don’t need to?“

“Because it’s clear that the sigil was printed on printer paper.“

“Have you checked her internet history?“ Julien asked. “Maybe there’s a link to the sigil online.“

“Tried it. Nothing.“ The forensic scientist turned to Julien. “You’re sure interested in this case, aren’tcha?“

“I’m... just trying to help.“ Julien blushed with embarrassment. “Suicide is an issue close to my heart.“

“You ever try summoning demons to cope?“ the scientist asked.

“No,“ Julien said. “I know I seem like that type of... er... um... person, but it’s better to have faith in tangible things.“

“I see, I see.“ He smiled. “Well, I’m sure you’d like to see other evidence from the place.“

Julien nodded. They followed the scientist to another table, where they saw a crucible filled with black material.

“This is obviously burnt something. We believe it’s burnt plant fiber of some sort. It’s not a cigarette, otherwise we’d’ve see some cylindrical shape in the embers.“

“Was there any burnt stuff in any of the other homes?“

“Not that we could tell. One of the other houses did have a small cup filled with this stuff, though. And it’s easy to dispose of it. Fireplaces and such. Actually, one of the other places! The family that lived there didn’t use the fireplace, but we found embers inside.“

Three times isn’t a coincidence. “What about the sigil?“ Julien asked. “Has that been seen anywhere else?“

“Nope.“

“Okay.“ Julien looked disappointed. “Anything else I should know?”

“Nothing you should. Everything I’ve told you is classified.“ He smiled. “But it’s fun having a shadow. Hey, wanna grab lunch together? I know a great place down the street.“

“...No thanks.“

Brooke’s eyes scanned the book.

Ascension Fifth Edition 1945

She opened it up to the first page.

Table of contents

“Why did I feel drawn to this book?“ Brooke asked herself. “Heh. I guess I just like old stuff.“ She flipped the page.

Introduction to Summoning Supernatural Beings

Since the dawn of time, there have been three creatures with the ability to think- demons, angels, and humans. Summoning the first two is not for the faint of heart, and summoning the third? It is as simple as writing them a letter and posting it. But you are reading this book to learn how to summon the first two.

Brooke raised one eyebrow. “Okay.“ She flipped the page.

Part 1: Summoning Demons

Demons are obviously creatures of hellfire and brimstone, et cetera, but they’re more than that. Demons are useful. By simply offering a demon your soul in the afterlife (and really, why not? We’re all going to hell) you can receive a number of powers that will aid you in the future. But be warned that not every demon can make you immortal or provide infinite wealth. Some are only useful as tiny, hissing, fire-breathing cats. I should also note that summoning demons is not for the faint of heart, as a summoning gone wrong could potentially start World War III (as it did II).

There are a number of types of demons, listed here. This book will teach you how to summon all of these types.

Brooke read through the list. Some of the names were in different languages and seemed impossible to pronounce. What the hell is a dagwanoenyent?

As Brooke was reading, Julien walked into the room. They threw their hat down on the ground and curled up in bed next to Brooke. “What’cha reading?”

“This book I picked up from the library.“

“Looks old. Dude, 1945? That’s... old.“

“Yeah.“

“Care to read with me?“ Julien snuggled against their friend. “I learned some pretty weird shit about the crime scene.“

“Like what?“

Julien kissed Brooke’s temple. “They think they’re summoning demons.”

“Demons?“ Brooke asked. “How?“

“Printer paper and... burning shit.“

“Printer paper?“

“The person had some sigil traced out on piece of printer paper and they traced it with water.“

“... Weird.“

“Spoopy.“

“Where’s Arthur?”

“He’s sleeping. He told me his dad didn’t tell him anything useful.”

“Yikes.” Julien pulled the book out of Brooke’s hands. “Let’s see what else’s in this piece of shit.“ They flipped through the book, humming to themself.

“Well, I’m pulling out some ice cream.“ Brooke pulled herself out of bed and walked to the kitchen. “Want some? We’re out of sprinkles.“

“Yeah, sure. Just don’t forget the chocolate sau-“ Julien stopped when they landed on a certain page. “Brooke, get your ass over here.“

“What?“ Brooke ran up to her friend. “What is it?“

“That one.“ Julien pointed to a picture in the book- a square circumscribed inside a circle, with circles in the space between and another circle in the middle with more tiny circles. “That’s the symbol I saw.“

“Where?“

“When the forensics scientist showed me that goddamn sigil, you dumbass! This is the one that chick traced in water!“

“That’s it?! What’s it do?!“

The two pressed their heads together to read the text.

Angels are easier to summon than demons, requiring less effort and obviously no blood, but nonetheless are difficult to control when summoned. My experience with summoning angels is that they express quite a bit of displeasure over the world, and when I ask them what they’ve been doing about it, they can’t say anything. I mean, just smiling at someone? Giving your mum a hug? That’s something you can do! But nope, can’t even give one person a penny because of morals and whatnot and end up complaining about it.

Anyway, the sigils are more complicated. Whereas demons require complicated geometric shapes, angels are easy. Or hard, depending on what kind of angel you want and which one. For example, the symbol on the left is for summoning two servants of the archangel Daniel. The symbol on the right is for summoning the nearest angel to your position. These runes, as you can see, are much more customizable!

“You’re sure that’s it?“ Brooke asked.

“I know that’s it.“ Julien pointed to the lines. “If they were symbols I would have known, and there’s no mistaking it.“

“The nearest angel to our position?“ Brooke asked. “So an angel that hangs out on Earth?“

“The feathers!“ Julien jumped up. “Remember we were wandering near the victim’s homes? And we found striped feathers?“

“You think those were from an angel?“

“That has to be it!“ Julien jumped on the bed. “This lady summoned an angel for whatever reason, and it killed her!“

“No.“ All of a sudden, Arthur stumbled into the room. “It’s not an angel feather. It’s a barn owl. I was just looking it up.“

Julien stopped bouncing.

A sudden rush of air poured through the window, flipping pages in Brooke’s book. It landed on one. Brooke’s eyes darted back down to the text.

Angels cannot visit Earth directly unless summoned and cannot travel for long periods on Earth without using an animal or person as a vessel. The ones I’ve summoned used cats, although I’ve heard that they prefer birds because they like to fly.

“There’s your answer.“ Brooke pointed to the passage. “An angel possessing a barn owl.“

“So people have been summoning angels... “ Julien said, “and then the angel kills them and escapes using his barn owl?“

“That might be it.“ Brooke said. “But there’s only one way to find out. We have to summon the angel ourselves.“

------------

(AN: In my work, summoning holy beings is the literal exact opposite of summoning demons- demons require fire, blood, sacrifice, etc, while holy beings require water from a natural source and plant seeds. The plant seeds have to be on fire for the ritual to begin, however, and while you need a lot for a demon, you need only a few embers for an angel. Some sort of chemical reaction needs to happen to those seeds- fire is just the easiest.)
