A Baker Fell in Love With Family Robinson

Thirteen years prior…

Martin looks up from removing the last of the lunchtime bakes from the oven as the bell over the door rings, and has to restraint his smile into something much less soppy at the sight of the man stumbling through.

Thankfully, Jon Robinson’s back is turned to him for some reason, so he has time to school his expression to one more appropriate for a close(?) friend.

And then Jon turns around and all of Martin’s effort is rendered useless by the sight of what’s in Jon’s arms.

“Oh hello. You’re not Callum, are you? What’s your name?” Martin says delightedly.

Jon glares at him, as the baby in his arms babbles around where it’s valiantly attempting shove his hand into its mouth. “Aggie has me babysitting. She and Jack are worried about their other bun in the oven, and Melanie and Daisy’re too busy taking care of their own little monsters to help me with this one.”

Martin gasps. “Oh, no. Your Uncle Jon doesn’t mean that. That’s a mean thing to say to a sweet little duck like you, isn’t it?”

The baby shrieks in agreement, releasing Jon’s hand for a moment, little legs kick, kick, kicking in excitement.

Jon’s arms automatically adjust to cradle the energetic baby more firmly against his chest, newly freed hand cupping their tiny head carefully.

Even covered in odd, not quite bite marks and baby slobber, they’re still the most elegant hands Martin’s ever seen. This scene is not helping stave off any of the idle fantasies that Martin’s been having about Jon being a dad (with a purely hypothetical partner that in no way resembles Martin and children that aren’t a mixture of the two of them, no siree, nope).

“You’d say the same if you had to wake up to Callum screeching every night just after we’d finally got this one to settle down.” He mutters darkly. “And Alexa’s convinced Lynn’s her new dress up doll, so she gets her so overexcited it’s near impossible to do that in the first place, because you just love to play don’t you?”

The baby, Lynn, burbles in agreement, little arms flailing, before she shoves one of her tiny fists into her mouth.

Martin tries not to be charmed by the way Jon immediately goes “ah, ah, no, none of that young lady” and tries to fish the offending limb out, and fails miserably.

“At least she’s a happy baby?” He suggests.

“She’s teething.” Jon says, like this is somehow a conspiracy against him.

The baby latches onto Jon’s finger.

“Ow!”

Martin tuts. “Poor you. Hang on, I might have something that might help—how old is she? Is she eating solid foods yet?”

“Six months. And mostly milk or mashed stuff, no whole solids yet.” Jon rattles off absentmindedly.

He’s resorted to playing an odd game of tug of war in his attempts to rescue his finger from his niece.

“Darn.” Martin says without heat, changing course from the fridge to the cupboards, ferreting around in a drawer once he’s there. “I was hoping I could donate some spare cherries from the Smith’s order. I’ve got loads of deseeded ones.”

There’s a moment of silence.

Then the sound of rustling paper fills the air and Martin turns in time to see Jon’s irises go a brilliant, iridescent green.

“Dr. Smith will have an allergic reaction to the black forest cake.” His voice is faraway and echoing. “His family don’t know he’s mildly allergic to cherries, because he’s hidden it as he knows this cake is his partner and his daughter’s favorite.”

Lynn stares up at her uncle, paused in the act of gnawing on his finger.

Jon stops talking and exhales, the green glow fading from his eyes as a resigned, almost beaten look grows on his face. “Ah—damn. Sorry, Martin.”

“There’s no need to apologize, Jon.” Martin says, crossing over to the fridge after all. “Honestly, I’m more glad you told me before I could assemble it— I don’t think Oscar would be very happy with me if one of my cakes sent his partner into anaphylactic shock.”

One of Lynn’s little hands comes up to pat at Jon’s nose and mouth with a decisive “Maaaah! Mah!”

Jon’s nose wrinkles as he tilts his head back to escape the affections of the wiggling baby, an unwitting smile tugging at his lips. “Yes, yes, thank you for your input.”

Jon’s still got a hangdog air about him, so Martin asks, “Do you know if he has any problems with cranberries?”

There’s another moment of silence.

Jon’s expression looks like he’s about to sneeze.

Lynn pats at his face again with a slightly more worried “Bah?”

“Ah, yes, I’m fine, I’m alright, enough of that please,” Jon tilts his head again to avoid more patting, dancing his fingers over his niece’s belly to make her squeal with laughter and curl up like a woodlouse. “But, nothing happened, so I, I think it’ll be fine?”

“Wonderful! I managed to get some—early harvest this year, you know.” Martin places the bowl of chilled sliced cherries on the counter between them. “Now we can get rid of the evidence.”

Jon grins, a small tentative thing as he reaches out a snags a small handful. The juice stains his fingers and teeth almost purple.

Martin can’t keep himself from staring, even as he picks a few cherries up for himself.

Lynn stares as well.

This turns out to be much less daydreamy than Martin’s staring, as it means when Jon goes back for his third handful, Lynn begins twisting and wiggling, trying to reach for whatever her uncle has that he’s putting in his mouth, but not letting her put in hers.

Jon tries to evade these efforts by holding his handful of fruit out of his niece’s reach so he can pop it into his mouth.

Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to hold a squirming, determined baby one-handed than it is when you have two hands free.

Martin sees Jon’s hold slip. “Oh sh—!”

Jon, through a frankly impressive feat of speed and upper body strength Martin hadn’t previously thought him capable of, hooked one elbow under the baby’s legs and the other hand over the back of her head, hoisting her up to his shoulder and clutching her close in a tight grip that’s only a few degrees away from turning his knuckles white.

One of his cheeks bulges with the cherries he’d been about to eat, like a squirrel’s.

The two of them stare at each other, over the sound of the foot traffic outside and Lynn’s surprised burbling.

Martin chuckles weakly, gradually pulling back from where he’d been half-lunged over the counter, hands splayed. “Well, um…nice catch?”

Jon swallows and exhales shakily. “May. Maybe I should, should go. I wouldn’t want to keep you, not when you’re busy…”

Martin’s heart plummets as Jon hunches in on himself, the self-loathing radiating off him in almost visible waves. He can’t let Jon go like this, can’t let this be another thing he beats himself up over. Not when everyone is so down on him already for his gift.

“I, um. I could hold her, if you’d like?” He blurts, abruptly.

Jon blinks, nonplussed.

“I mean, it’s just— I know I won’t be able to eat all of these on my own.” Martin continues, mentally wincing at the words coming out of his mouth. “Plus, I, I did say I had something to help. With, with the teething. Just, please. Give me a chance to try?”

Jon pauses halfway to the door, cradling his niece close, face conflicted. Even Lynn’s gone quiet, making Martin’s thundering heartbeat feel like the loudest thing in the small bakery.

Jon sighs and begins to tentatively walk back towards him, and Martin’s heart leaps.

“Well, if you’re sure…”

There’s a moment of unsure hands and taking weight and Lynn staring nervously at the both of them, but eventually the transfer is complete and Martin has a small, warm bundle of baby Robinson peering up at him from the crook of an elbow.

“Hello Lynnie.” He breathes, enchanted as her mouth widens in a tentative smile at the sound of her name.

He can see the pointy little triangles of white where a few milk teeth are already poking through.

“Getting some teeth already, are you?” He asks her. “Looks like you’re doing a very good job so far, well done. It itches, doesn’t it? Growing a whole set of chompers, all on your own. Hard work you’re doing.”

Lynn babbles back, little fists waving in the air, as if she’s agreeing with him.

“Well, why don’t we try this?” He proffers the head of his least used wooden spoon in her reach, the color still light and the woodgrain whole and smooth. “My mum said she swore by this to get me to stop fussing when mine were coming in.”

He keeps a firm hold on the handle of the spoon so she doesn’t try and bite on more than she can handle and accidentally choke when she yanks it towards her mouth after a moment of suspicious examination.

His mum’s scolded him for doing the same once when he was small enough times over the years that he won’t make that mistake here.

Luckily, Lynn seems happy enough with the corner she’s managed to “nom” onto, not spitting it out like he’d worried she might.

“Yeah, that feels better, doesn’t it? Much better than your nice Uncle Jon’s hands.” Martin coos down at her, as she stares up at him, wide-eyed and entranced. She’s so little in his arms, barely bigger than a loaf of bread.

He bounces her gently, feeling uncommonly delighted at the way she shifts and settles contentedly, eyes going half-lidded as she really focuses on gumming at the wooden spoon, teeny tiny hands wrapping around the bit of the handle he’s not holding and one of his fingers.

Her fingernails are so small. He didn’t know they were allowed to be that small.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Jon leaning stock still against the counter, watching them without moving.

Maybe he’s still wary for Lynn’s safety?

“Your uncle’s lucky you’re such a sweetheart.” He coos, shooting a quick conspiratorial grin up at Jon. “Imagine if you were getting your gift at eight months instead of eight years.”

Jon immediately groans. “Don’t say that, it’d be a nightmare. It’s hard enough getting Petra to come in out of the flowerboxes when she’s not little enough to get swallowed up by them. And, oh good lord, we would’ve lost Alexa within a week, or, or been stuck with a terrifying mismash of a baby. Tiny head, giant body and all that.”

Martin snorts, trying desperately not to jostle Lynn to much with his laughter. “Jon!”

Jon snickers back at him as he takes another handful of cherries.

“And what would your gift be, hm?” Martin says to Lynn, who is now throughly uninterested in anything but the wooden spoon she’s nibbling on. “If your tiny baby arms could open the magic door, what would you get?”

“Nutcracker.” Jon says automatically. “Or magic teeth. Anything to do with biting, really. Very bitey, that one.”

Martin gasps theatrically, cuddling Lynn close. “Why sir! Slandering your own niece’s good name like this? How could you?”

Jon holds up his gnawed on hand with a dry look. “Easily.”

Martin can’t even keep a straight face for more than a minute before he cracks up at that, Jon’s laughter joining his and filling the bakery, little Lynn even pulling the spoon out of her mouth to burble along excitedly.

It’s almost impossible to hear it when the bell above his door rings again.

Martin does take notice when Melanie Robinson strides in though, face set in an odd expression of mingled annoyance and humor as she advances on her brother.

“Where’ve you been, Jon? Aggie sent you out for those tarts ages ago!”

Martin has to do a double take, as Sasha James’ voice comes out of Melanie’s mouth.

Jon doesn’t look nearly so surprised. “Wrong voice, Alexa.”

Melanie pouts.

Before Martin’s eyes, she shrinks down until her nine year old daughter is standing before them, arms crossed. “No fair, Uncle Jon.”

Jon just smiles at her, proffering a piece of fruit in apology. “Sorry. You’ll get it soon, don’t worry.”

She strides up to the counter, taking both what her uncle offered and helping herself to another. “But it’s been aaaages, what happened? Are they out of Bakewell tarts for Auntie Aggie already?”

Jon freezes in the process of lifting another cherry to his mouth, darting a guilty look at Martin.

“Ah.”

“Did you forget, Uncle Jon?” Alexa pipes up, delighted. “You didn’t forget, did you? Did you?”

Jon shoots him a long suffering look and pointedly crams a larger portion of cherries into his mouth to avoid answering.

Martin snickers. “Right. Shall I give this one back to you and get some of those then?”

Jon was not joking about Alexa’s talent for getting her baby cousin overexcited.

It only takes a few minutes of switching between faces while playing peekaboo to have little Lynn shrieking, tiny fists flailing in a way that would have everyone in reach getting thwacked with a dribble-covered spoon, had Martin not had the foresight to reclaim it.

Jon’s looking pretty harried as it is, and they haven’t even left yet.

“Here, Alexa, why don’t you carry the tarts and the cherries for your uncle?” Martin offers, proffering the bags of their purchases and the gift of the excess cherries. “Though, maybe it’ll all be a bit heavy for someone as small as you…”

Alexa looks mildly indignant for a moment. Then her form’s shifting, molding like melting wax, until Daisy Robinson is standing before him, with a cocky grin on her face.

“Heavy? This is nothing, Mr. Martin! C’mon, Uncle Jon!” Even knowing who it is, it’s disconcerting hearing such a high-pitched voice coming from Daisy’s mouth, let alone the sight of her skipping out of the bakery.

Jon hitches his younger niece higher on his hip with a sigh.

“Right well. Best be off, I suppose. Uh, thank you, Martin. For, um, the food, and helping with the teething.”

“Oh not at all! It was no problem, she’s a sweetheart.” Martin says. If he adds ‘so are you’ in his head, well. That’s nobody’s business but his own.

He waves “bye-bye” to Lynn as she babbles over her uncle’s shoulder at him while he opens the door, mouth wide in a baby smile that shows off all her growing teeth.

He’s not expecting Jon to prop a foot in the doorway, and use one of his hands to lift one of her little arms to wave back for a few moments, before dropping his gaze and purposefully speed-walking away, like no one could prove Jonathan Robinson is a massive, adorable softy if he just moves fast enough.

Martin has to take a few minutes in the back to get over the butterflies this gives him before setting about making the replacement cranberry compote for the Smith’s cake.

Still.

The memory of Jon shooting him a sheepish smile while Lynn ‘waves’ at him is something that Martin will treasure for years to come.

Particulary after Jon vanishes when Lynn’s gift ceremony goes Wrong.

My new OCs intro

I don't have plans to write this story rn bc it would take a lot of time and effort but here's the basic plot and some characters I came up.

Alexandra Morrow's grandmother, the last in a long line of caretakers for their small town's graveyard in Rhode Island passes away leaving the job to her only granddaughter. Alex soon discovers that as caretaker she can see ghosts, and not only that but is responsible for helping them cross over by helping with their unfinished business. But Alex wants nothing to do with it so she leaves for university across the state to find her own path in life, ignoring the duties of her job. Problem is there's already a ghost that's latched onto her, following her to university, and the only way she can get rid of him is to help him figure out how he died. But maybe when the time comes she won't want to let him go. And are there consequences to her abandonment of her post?

OC questions:

I’m gonna answer these for my character Rebecca Tollingworth. Who I later changed to Persephone Rhodes. She’s from the story The Undeclared Life of Marilynn Baxter.

1. What’s their full name? If they’re an alien and their name is in their native planet’s language, have you thought about what it means? —// Rebecca Philippa Ann Tollingworth —// and then later on —// Persephone Alexandra Rhodes

2. Say your OC made a playlist on Spotify. What bands would be on that playlist? Any specific genres? —// I actually have writing playlists for different characters. —// https://open.spotify.com/user/hawkingbishop/playlist/4munDDgJ08wsBLwSXc0e73?si=3X6dnju1 —// That’s the one specific to Rebecca/Persephone, but I have a few more for Rebecca/Marilynn and one full playlist for the whole story. —// I’ll go back and add links for those. —// Brand New, The Wooden Birds, The New Amsterdams, The American Analog Set, Fiona Apple, Tegan and Sara, Jenny Owen Youngs, Uh Huh Her, Do Make Say Think, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Paramore, Daughter, Kate Nash, Kesha, No Doubt, Weezer, Feist, Metric, Bright Eyes. —// She likes a lot of music.

5. What’s their favorite type of weather? Do they like to do anything specific on days when the weather is how they like it? —// Autumn for sure. She likes wearing nice warm sweaters and going for a walk, watching the leaves rustle in the cool breeze, listening to music. She likes hot cocoa. She likes snuggling with Marilynn (both for gay reasons but also just friend reasons).

6. If they’re a fan of Hot Chocolate, Tea, or Coffee, how do they like either of those drinks prepared? —// All of the above! —// Hot Chocolate with mini marshmallows. —// Tea with sugar, milk, and honey. —// Coffee with sugar and milk. —// She likes chai lattes. Caramel Macchiato.

If they already have pet’s what are their names? —// She’d love cats and/or dogs. —// I forget if she already had a pet. I tried looking back but couldn’t find anything… —// She’d have a cat named Lara Croft and a puppy named Hades. (Get it? Because she’s Persephone. I’m so lame…)

8. How does your OC keep track of time? Do they have a planner? A calendar? —// She has a journal she’s constantly writing in. So each page has the time and date. —// Other than that she has a wall calendar of Symmetra and she uses the calendar on her phone.

9. How do they write? Do they write in cursive? How do they dot their i’s and j’s? Do they have specific ways that they write certain letters? —// She’s a neat writer. Print. The perfect mix of bubbly and square. Sometimes she put stars above the “i” and “j”. Most times it’s just a big dot. —// She writes “z” and “7” with a line through it. —// She sometimes mixes cursive and print.

10. What’s their favorite time of day? —// Evening. She loves the dark, cool, quiet of it.

11. What kinds of foods and drinks do they like? Do they like certain foods to be fried? Do they prefer certain foods to be prepared hot/cold? —// She tries to be a vegetarian. She’s mostly good at it. She still eats eggs. She prefers scrambled with cheese.

12. If they were an actual character in an animated film or TV series, who would they be voiced by? Do they have a certain accent that the person would need to perfect? —// I think Tessa Thompson would be good. Or maybe Kiersey Clemons.

13. If you are an artist, and if your OC can draw as well, could you replicate what their artstyle looks like? Or, if you can’t, could you describe it? —// Lots of rounded edges. Very fluid. Precise when she needs to be.

14. If your OC owned a Tumblr blog, what kind of content would they post? —// GAY STUFF™ —// She’d be complaining about Supercorp not being canon. She’d love Wynonna Earp. Van Helsing. Grey’s Anatomy. How to Get Away With Murder. Scandal. The Bold Type. Chasing Life. Sweet/Vicious. —// She’d reblog a lot of hot women. —// Poetry. Mostly others’ but she’d post her own sometimes too. She might even have a sideblog she uses to post her writings about Marilynn. —// Cool photography. Drawings. Art in general.

15. How do they type? Do they use emojis? Do abbreviate and shorten words? —// She’s a fast typist. She begrudgingly used emojis at first but then falls in love with them. 🤷🏼‍♀️ —// When texting Marilynn she’ll shorten things. But on her blog she’s mostly longhand everything. Usually just when she gets excited will she resort to things like “v sexy” or “btw” or something…?

16. If your OC was a film director, what kind of movies would they make? —// Gay ones. Lesbian indie romances. LGBTQ in general. —// She’d use lots of flowy imagery and close ups. Lingering scenery shots. —// She’d also want to direct sci-fi/fantasy.

17. If your OC was a musical artist, what genres would they do? —// She’d probably play bedroom pop? Indie? I can see her playing acoustic guitar and singing. Maybe ukulele, keyboard, drums?

18. What type of singing voice does your OC have? —// Sultry. Soft. A bit scratchy. She has trouble with really high notes, but she mostly sings in whispers anyway.

19. Does your OC like to collect things? What kind of things do they collect? —// She has tons of pictures of her and Marilynn from over the years. She has some on her vanity and the rest in a photo album. —// She also collects little things she finds when traveling somewhere with Marilynn. Seashells, rocks, twigs, leaves, feathers, coins, other miscellaneous stuff people dropped like playing cards or dice or something.

20. Was your OC inspired by anything? Another character? A person? —// Yeah, she was originally inspired by my friend (crush at the time) Molly. Rebecca was originally a tall blonde just like Molly. Wlw like Molly (she’s bi though). Vocal. Social-minded. Nice. Beautiful. Smart.

Summary: When Bentley was a little boy, his mother was the light of his life, like any little boy would be towards their loving mother, but he never knew his dad. His mom said that was because they broke up before she found out she was pregnant with him. Bentley always wondered about him, what he was like, was he nice? etc. His mom always told him all the good things about him, stories about him and his motorcycle, his humor, his kindness, every wonderful thing about the man, and Bentley's mother told him about it. But at the age of five Bentley's life came crashing down. One day he found his mom in her bed dead, she had died from a sudden heart attack in her sleep. Bentley was taken by a social worker who then brought him to the only person he had left, his dad, Eddie Brock. He didn't know what to do or feel at first, and his dad didn't seem to know either, but Bentley ended up getting extremely close to his dad and loved him dearly. When he was 15 another sudden event changed his life or well someone caused it, Carlton Drake. His dad was fired, his girlfriend Ann, a mother figure to him, left him after being fired from her job because of it and they had to move. Ann offered Bentley to stay with her but he declined, he wouldn't leave his dad. Yes, his dad was irresponsible and didn't go about things the right way, but he was confident enough to know that his dad had a reason to, Carlton Drake was a real bad guy. So he would try to gather enough evidence or research in secret to try and help his dad out because he wanted to see him smile again and live his life. But his research seemed to make him more confused and concerned about what was going on, aliens from outer space? Human experiments? And before he could even get further research his dad seemed to have one of the aliens...inside him? Its name was Venom and it would change both father and son's life forever.

He was taken by a group of aliens going to sell him on the black market on the planet Knowhere, but he was spotted by a teenage Peter Quill who saved him just in time. He was taken in by Peter, who already gave him a name, Kevin Maverick, which in turn Yondu said if Quill didn’t want them to get rid of him it was his responsibility. So Kevin became a part of Yondu’s Ravagers and Quill’s younger brother. It was a crazy life growing up for Kevin, who doesn’t even know that his name was based on the actor Kevin Bacon from the movie Footloose or the Tom Cruise film Top Gun, it was even harder trying to make sure his older brother didn’t die doing stupid shit, but he loved being by his brother's side and the family he had grew in size when the Guardians of The Galaxy formed.

He was a quiet boy that kept to himself and focused on his training despite missing his mother, who had unfortunately passed away a year before he was sent away. He would train under the rough commanders, which were way rougher than they should have been with him, but there was one person who was patient with him and helped him learn things smoother and that was Heimdall. When Kvasir had any free time he would be reading, keeping to himself. However, one day there was someone that had gotten Kvasir to open up more, and that someone was the one who he was sworn to protect Loki. He taught him fun, to play games, and even showed him his magic. So, the two became incredibly close, making Kvasir loyal to Loki and Loki alone. So, Kvasir grew up being by his side through anything...and it was true because when Loki took Odin's thrown after Thor's banishment, become his left-handed man. Even after that, Kvasir would still follow Loki to whatever depths of mischief he wrought against anyone.

The test came back to confirm that Tony Stark was indeed the father of the baby boy, throwing him into the unexpected world of a single dad. Tony ends up naming the baby boy Jude Edwin Stark. Growing up, Jude is a shy, but sweet caring boy who cares a lot for his dad, despite the fact that his dad is busy working. He also grew up with little spotlight as possible since his dad didn’t want all that pressure put on him like he did growing up and wanted him to at least have a little bit of a normal life.

A Poor First Impression

(Another Entity Swap WIP— this time focusing on the first meeting of those who have taken the place of Jon and Martin in their world’s Institute…)

[EARLY MORNING, THE ORSINOV INSTITUTE REGISTRY. A YOUNG MAN WITH CURLY HAIR AND THE FASHION SENSE OF A PARTICULARLY GOTH SCARECROW IS CHECKING OVER HIS BRIEFCASE AND REARRANGING THINGS IN HIS NEW DESK. HE’S REMEMBERED HIS LAPTOP, HIS MEMO PAD, PENS, PENCILS, NOTEBOOK, POST-ITS…]

[A LOUD CLATTER HAS HIM LOOKING UP AND STANDING, SWALLOWING NERVOUSLY. HIS RESTING FACE DOESN'T GIVE IT AWAY, BUT THE CURATORIAL ASSISTANT NEEDS TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION AS A VALUABLE WORKER IN THIS NEW, TENUOUS ENVIRONMENT. HE STRAIGHTENS UP AS IT GETS CLOSER…]

[A YOUNG WOMAN IN A CARDIGAN WITH TOO MUCH MAKEUP TO BE PRACTICED AT APPLYING IT CAREENS AROUND THE CORNER INTO THE BULLPEN, GLANCING AROUND NERVOUSLY, MESSENGER BAG BANGING AGAINST HER HIP. HER NAIL POLISH IS ODDLY FLUORESCENT, AND SEVERAL STRANDS OF HAIR HAVE ALREADY COME LOOSE FROM HER PONYTAIL.]

LYNN STINE: “Hi, uh, sorry. You haven’t seen a cat, have you?”

[A MOMENT OF PROFOUNDLY CONFUSED SILENCE. THE HEAD CURATOR CONTEMPLATES FLEEING THE BUILDING]

EMIL WALPOLE: “I. In general, or…?”

LYNN STINE: [NERVOUS LAUGHTER OF SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEY'RE ABOUT TO BECOME A MEME ON THEIR FIRST DAY] “Uh-uh, no actually. I mean, um, around here somewhere? …In the Registry? Kinda big, very fluffy? Majestic?”

[A MOMENT OF MUCH MORE TENSE SILENCE. THE CURATORIAL ASSISTANT SQUINTS AT THE INTERLOPER, AS THOUGH SHE'D PLANNED THIS TO TRIP HIM UP PERSONALLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF HIS PROMOTION. THE HEAD CURATOR CONTEMPLATES FLEEING THE COUNTRY]

EMIL WALPOLE: [SLOWLY] “Why would there be a Cat in the Registry?”

LYNN STINE: [REGRETTING EVERY CHOICE SHE'S EVER MADE BUT ESPECIALLY THIS ONE] “Well, um, he was outside and he came up to me and started purring, so I gave him some pets because he was a very good boy, but then I had to come in by the Registry side door, which is really heavy, and my hands were full, so I had to use my foot, and he sort of…ran past me?”

EMIL WALPOLE: [IMPATIENT, INTERRUPTING] “Why were you coming into the Registry?”

LYNN STINE: [THROUGHLY CONFUSED] “Well, I. I work here.”

[A THIRD, MONUMENTAL SILENCE. AS IF AN UNCARING UNIVERSE IS WAITING FOR A PUNCHLINE.]

EMIL WALPOLE: [WITH UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE] “No you don’t.”

[SILENCE AGAIN, AS THE HEAD CURATOR TAKES THE TIME TO SQUINT AT HIM. HALF OF HER IS CONVINCED THAT THIS GUY IS RIGHT, SHE'S HALLUCINATED THIS ENTIRE PROMOTION, AND SHE SHOULD JUST APOLOGIZE AND RIGHT WALK OUT]

LYNN STINE: “Ye-uh. Yes I do.”

EMIL WALPOLE: “No you don’t. I know I transferred down here with Danny, and I know I transferred down here with Alexa. And you? Are neither.”

[THE CURATORIAL ASSISTANT PUFFS HIS CHEST OUT, LIKE HE’S A DETECTIVE WHO'S JUST CRACKED THE CASE. THE HEAD CURATOR DOES SOME COMPLICATED MENTAL MATH]

LYNN STINE: “Oh. Oh! You’re, uh, you’re Emile, right? Emile Walpole?”

EMIL WALPOLE: “Emil.”

LYNN STINE: “Right, Emil, sorry, I’m sorry. Uh, Nikky told me we’d be, um. We’d be working together. I-I’m uh, I’m Ly—“

[A RATTLE OFF IN THE DISTANCE. THE FAINTEST MEOW COMES FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE REGISTRY'S FILING]

[THE CAT, WHO IN ANOTHER LIFE WOULD ANSWER TO THE NAME "THE ADMIRAL", HAS GOTTEN BORED OF HIS EXPLORATIONS AND IS WONDERING WHERE ALL THE NEW FRIENDS HE CAN SMELL ARE]

EMIL WALPOLE: [PLUMBING THE DEPTHS OF HIS PATIENCE. HE WILL SALVAGE THIS BEFORE HIS NEW BOSS (WHOEVER THAT IS) AND HIS COWORKERS COME IN] “Right. It sounds like it came from back there. I’ll take one end, you take the other, and we’ll meet in the middle so it can’t get by either of us. Shout if you’re having any trouble though.”

LYNN STINE: [EAGERLY ACCEPTING DIRECTION. MAYBE IF SHE COOPERATES WELL WITH HER NEW SUBORDINATE, SHE'LL BE ABLE TO SALVAGE SOME RESPECT?] “Right! Right, okay! Let’s—let’s get on that—! Yes.”

EMIL WALPOLE: [ABRUPT] “And then you and your cat will be on your way. You’ll need to ask Ms. Grimaldi if you’ll have permissions to come back in if you want to report an incident. Though, I warn you, my superior may not be as understanding about this as Ms. Grimaldi is, but getting your pet out as quickly as possible will probably be better for you.”

LYNN STINE: [UNABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT SHE IS HIS SUPERIOR WITHOUT A GREAT DEAL OF ARGUING AND EMBARRASSMENT THAT WILL TAKE FAR LONGER THAN RETRIEVING THE WAYWARD CAT WILL] “Y. Yup. I’ll, uh, I’ll keep that in mind.”
