It All Worked Out In The End
When the parents are away the kids will play... or fight one of the two.
I am genuinely have a too much fun with these imagines.
Masterlist
Warninngs: Swearing ,Mentions of fighting ,Hinting at Drugging and Rape (nothing explicit)
Jaskier stood befor you in your rented room dunking the bloodied rag into a jug of cool water before wringing it out then lightly dabbing your eye brow and angry claw marks on your face. Ciri stood off to the side apprehensive watching the bard tend to the wound.
"Got her good tho didnt i?" He smirked at that trying so hard to be disappointed in you but he really couldnt.
"Yes I even won a bit of coin, lets just hope the other two dont come back until this has gone down we can explain the black eye and cut but not the scratches."
"Yeah ... I still have all my teeth tho!" Cheerful in your victory utterly pleased with yourself Ciri shook her head at this then spoke up in disbelief.
"Where did that even come from?" You grinned wincing again as it hurt the bruises that were forming on your cheek and jaw.
"Well my sweet Cirilla a few years of pent up anger can do wonders for your right hook or in my case bitch slap" She snorted relaxing as she saw that you were to all intents and purposes unharmed. She wandered over to the bags on the chair by the bed.
"Wait Jask did you say coin? You put coin down?" Jaskier shrugged in response to your question dipping the rag in to the water again.
"Hey they started taking bets at the bar, I wasnt gonna join in but then looked at you , there was no way you werent gonna put her down ,your face looked a lot like Geralts growley face" He swiped over your face one last time there was a pregnant pause.
"So you gonna split the coin?"
"Nope" He said popping the p dropping the now pink cloth with a wet slap on the table. Your younger sister from another mister walked back over to you with a small vial. Poppy milk or better known to you as morphine.
"Yennefer left us some poppy milk for emergencies, you should take some now before you really start feeling it.How are we going to keep this from them?" Waving a hand motioning to your damaged face as Jaskier prepaird the medicine. If you were honest you didnt think that far ahead at the time you just needed to ko that Bitch -which you did thank you very much- but you knew what Ciri was getting at Geralt and Yennefer were a couple of mother hens... allbeit slightly more intimidating... and dangerous... and volatile.
"Not sure we can" You replied nodding greatfully at Jaskier who offered cup of water that held a dose of the pain killer. Knocking it back before pulling faces at the bitter taste.
"Oh god! Ugh no" you shook your head befor quickly eating a cube of cheese from the small platter in front of you. The singer shrugged ignoring your outbust looking between the both of you.
"All i do know is that your going to be in trouble when they do find out" He said in a sing song voice you slumped back in the chair grunting.
"Oh yer how'd you figure its just me in shit Jask" Sputtering he glared at you
"Maybe because your the one who decided to turn savage and attack a whore! You even bit her bit" You tapped a pointing finger on the table
"Ok fisrt things first she hit me first got a strict rule never throw the fisrt punch but allways throw the last and second yeah fair enough i bit her but she was fighting dirty. And you could have pulled me off her, you also placed a bet on me which was encouraging it.If im going down your coming with me." He gaped at you in disbelief.
"What about her she didn't intervene either?"
"She also didn't bet on me."
"I don't think Geralt himself could have dragged y/n off her" Ciri quipped from the side lines you nodded at her continuing.
"Not only that im pretty sure they left you in charge bard so really when you think about it its all your fault" He pailed as you and Ciri high fived.
"I need to lie down" Wobbling to the bed flopping on it face first.You and Ciri shared a look after a few beats of silence befor being asked the enevitable question
"So how did it start anyway?"
"Thats what id like to know" Came from the bed as Jaskier sat up.
"Not really sure she was just running her mouth i geuss" You lied patting her head befor freighning tirednes making your way to the other bed deciding that she never has to know the real reason to you cat fighting with a whore. A few days later after the scratches and swelling had faded the others returned they hastily made their way up to the room. Geralt started speaking as he stormed through the door.
"Can some one explain to me why iv just had to pay for a whores loss of earnings And medical costs?" You balked
"Loss of earnings I knocked out her teeth surely shes making double on blowies" Jaskier snorted into his mug
"What the fuck happened?" Geralt growled out not finding your comment amusing in the slightest as he saw the clawed bruised cheek, blackened eye and cut on your brow he quickly gave Ciri and Jaskier the once over fearing youd all been attacked, relife flooded him when he saw they were ok . Yennefer gasped striding past the seething witcher stopping in front of you placing a soothing hand on you uninjured cheek.
"Who did this?" She whispered you beamed at her nuzzling into her palm.
"Dont worry I dealt with it. Besides I got off lightly you should see my opponent" Ciri nodded in agreement befor breifly explaining.
"Y/n had a fight with a whore, beat her into the ground actually then knocked her out with a single back hander. Was quite immpressive to watch"
"Made a satisfying sound to" Jaskier added Geralt looked between the three of you.
"So Y/n had a cat fight with a whore?" You all nodded
"And did enough damage to not only knock out teeth but keep her out of work for a few days?" The three of you shared a look and nodded the hunter sighed a deep breath crossing him arms.
"Do i want to know what started it?"
"Probably not" was you offered choosing once again to keep the fact it was for Ciri's sake to yourself, trying to trick you in to selling yourself for a night was one thing but planning to drug and sell Ciri was a completely different ball game. She was family.No one was getting away with that not on your watch its lucky you caught on to the hushed conversation. You dont want to think about what could have happend if you hadnt been paying attention. Geralt threw his hand up looking towards Yennefer when it was clear none of you were going to elaborate any more then that. Aproaching he droped his swords and bag taking Yenns place tilting your face to inspect your wounds.
"Well they didnt do much damage or manage to fracture anything ,even your nose which is good." He leaned in kissing your forhead chasetly. As yenn preceeded to pull you over to where her bag was on the bed with a healing balm in hand stippling it over the cut on your face.
"Fighting a whore honestly, can't leave you alone for a few days with out you getting into trouble. I hope you know your in trouble missy" She muttered as she flitted threw her bag then began fussing over your split knuckles applying a different ointment.
"And the money we had to give her for this whole incident is comming out of your allowance starting today" Geralt grunted from the table Jaskier and Ciri watched in peels of laughter as you tried squirming away from the sorceress pleading with the unimpressed white haired male you continued protesting at Geralt's decision until he pinned you with a stern look that shut you up. Yeah he wasnt a happy camper.
"And your grounded from singing bard" Jaskier stopped laughing
"What?"
"you were told to take care of them and it doesnt take an idiot to guess why this is considerably heavier you dont make this much from singing alone" he growled out lifting up jaskiers bulging coin pouch .All in all the couple took it better than any of you thought they would, you were relieved they didnt push the issue as if they knew what had kicked it off they probaly would have burnt that whore house to the ground, whores and all... Jaskier did share his winnings tho so it all worked out in the end,Jaskier made a weeks worth of coin in a night, you saved Ciri ,let out some pent up aggression and Geralt didnt have kill anyone.

May i please request a ghilley nsfw alphabet? I love all your current works and I can wait to see more
Ghilley x GN!MC Nsfw alphabet
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Likes to prepare a bath for you and kiss all over your face in case you two choose to bathe together sometimes that ends up in shower sex but that’s not really a problem😉, he also changes the sheets and brings you your favorite drink and even snacks if you’re feeling hungry.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
He loves his hair, he likes how long it is and it’s softness, he would never cut it, if he did how would he wake you up or how would you pull on it with so much easyness?
He loves your face, it just shows so many emotions and it’s just so cute when you get mad at him for something he did, also when you’re frowning he can’t help but cup your face and kiss your forehead for you to relax.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Loves to do it messy and just see you covered in it, his favorite place is your face (extra points if you lick the cum near your mouth, you’ll get a reward for that)
He doesn’t usually do it inside you, the only time he does that is when he just CAN’T hold back.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He once thought it would be interesting if you were to put him on a collar or leash, he never actually told you because he was too shy to do so, but he really enjoyed the idea of having something pulling on his neck.
This idea came from his event SSR card where in his neck he has some sort of ring, and I just couldn’t help but be like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) even if the ring itself meant nothing😂
Likes to put his hair on your face on purpose just to bother you and see you get mad, if you tell him something he’ll just say it was an accident, and do that laugh of his.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Doesn’t have any experience at all, you’re his first yet he has a LOT of knowledge about it and you wouldn’t even guess you were his first.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
He doesn’t have a favorite one, he never uses the same one twice in a row, because he likes to keep things new or interesting. The ones he loves the most tho are the ones where he is completely in control and you can only be a total sub for him or try to be bratty for him, he won’t hesitate to punish you.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
If he IS goofy it’s just to tease you and nothing else, still he’d much rather release dirty sounds into your ear. That works much better as a teasing method than a joke.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
The carpet does match the drapes.
His hair is just as long exaggeration obviously not THAT long, but more than normal down there so he trims it neatly.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
He likes to plan jokes as much as he likes to plan stuff for you, even if it’s not that obvious which is part of the plan.
He IS indeed very rough during sex but he makes sure to show his more sweet side after you two are done with the stuff.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
He likes to jack off a lot just because he’s sometimes most of the time horny and he can’t always go to you due to your manager duties, so instead of being all hot and bothered he chooses to masturbate.
He also likes it when you two are together and you watch each other masturbate.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
He loves combining sensory deprivation and temperature play. The way you jump slightly when he passes an ice cube on your niples is something he can’t get enough of, specially as when you’re blindfolded you don’t see it coming which simply heightens the effect and makes you look even cuter. If you allow him to, he would also like to use some melted wax on you and drop it slowly over your body.
He also loves when you pull on his hair, he has it very well maintained for a reason and there is nothing that he loves more than getting his hair pulled as he is going down on you or thrusting into you.
Cock warming, he loves to tease you with this because most of the time you have some papers to sign or other stuff as manager, so he can just have his fun teasing you meanwhile you try to do your work only to ultimately fail in your attempt and end up asking him for more. He also likes making it a bit more fun with rules like ‘Don’t move/squirm’ .
He’s also a brat tamer and loves it when you play hard to get or tease him, so he can show you your place.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Anywhere mildly private, your rooms? definitely, your office? even better! A closet in the school? lots of fun!
He isn’t afraid of doing stuff in public, I mean he never gets found or seen so why not use that in his favor when it comes to pleasing you in public? You two will never get discovered, after all one of his traits is having no presence.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Anything really, it may be something he’s been planning, you being a brat for him, just him being horny for no apparent reason. There’s a lot going on through his head and he likes planning stuff even if it all seems random it most of the times is something he’s planned to have you in the palm of his hand.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
There isn’t much stuff that Ghilley wouldn’t do, he’s very open minded, so he’s up to do anything with you meanwhile you’re okay with it.
If you say ‘yes’ it’s a ‘yes’ for him if you say ‘no’ it’s a ‘no’ for him, that simple.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Funny thing, he has to tie up his hair so it doesn’t get in the way
He prefers giving and just watch your reactions, he loves to tease you by edging you and then stopping to move on to another part of your body. That can go on for hours until you’re begging for him to let you finish.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
He loves starting super rough but then he slows down just to tease you and see how you beg him to go slower at the beginning and then faster.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He likes more long sessions where he can have more fun with you and enjoy more the moment BUT quickies are fun to do in semi-public places so he really likes them, it’s basically a 50/50 thing between quickies and normal sex.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Of course he does take risks, he isn’t afraid of getting found due to his lack of presence and he LOVES trying out new stuff with you, you could call him an experimentalist.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He never gets tired so when you stop it’s because YOU can’t anymore, he has lots of energy to spare so he puts all that into aftercare.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
He does have toys aside from the ice and wax candles (in case you count those as toys) he has blindfolds, cuffs, gags, vibrators and lots of other stuff that can make you feel good or needy for him.
He loves using glass stuff because they are good temperature absorbers and sticking something hot/cold inside of you is something he loves, also they look really fancy which he likes.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Do I even have to explain this?
He loves to tease you 24/7. In the hallways you never hear/see him coming so he loves to moan/grunt in your ear or just give your butt a little spank and keep walking like he did nothing.
In private he loves to sit you on his lap and bounce his leg up and down to tease you, if you ask him to stop he’ll ask ‘why is there a problem?’ with a smirk on his face to tease you further
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He can completely hold back his voice but he doesn’t just because he knows you like hearing him and it makes you squirm a bit when he purposely lets out specially dirty sounds out right in your ear.
He also likes to walk past you and groan/grunt or moan slightly in your ear just to see your reaction.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He likes to wake you up by grabbing a bit of his hair and rubbing it in your nose. He also looks really happy when doing it and he likes to pretend to be asleep once you’ve woken up so you don’t know it was him tickling you it’s quite obvious tho.
He once left you tied up and with a little toy on you and left for awhile (with your consent) to do who knows what for not too long, so you where left there all needy till he came back to see how much you wanted him to let you come, as the toy wasn’t enough for you to do so. This guy finds new ways to tease you everyday, each one very unique.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Super long and slightly thicker than the rest of people.
He loves to tease you by keeping himself at your entrance as you try to push back onto him only for him to pull away, you’ll have to beg him for it.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Quite high, he just can’t seem to get enough of you, you seem to understand him so well and you just make him so happy, so he just HAS to please you and express his love for you a lot...and very often as well.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Not fast at all, as I had said he has lots of spare energy and when you two stop is because you said so, he doesn’t fall asleep for awhile after you have, he loves to see your cute sleeping face and before falling asleep he always kisses the tip of your nose.

Best Friends
Tell me if you wanna be tagged!!
Summary: Human AU, The day started out like any other, but what happens when the Sanders quadruplets are faced with a horrifying road bump while at daycare?
Notes: The sides are 5, and Virgil has a lisp
Pairings: Familial LAMP
Warnings: One (1) swear, panic attack, choking, mentions an eating disorder
Word Count: ~2450 words
Read on Wattpad
My Masterlist
The Sanders quadruplets had a routine, and they always stuck to it.
Wake up around 6:30, have breakfast at 7, get ready for the day, and head over to daycare at 8.
Once at daycare, the four did everything together. They played the same games, ate lunch and snack at their own little table, and, during nap time, they all slept in a giant pile.
Around 4:30, their father picked them up, and they spent the entire car ride plus dinner explaining everything they did. Roman and Patton did most of the explaining, as Roman was very dramatic and Patton was the bubbliest of the bunch.
Logan would chime in every so often to correct Roman and Patton when they got a little too carried away. He was the more grounded of the four, and he often helped reign Roman and Patton in at daycare.
Virgil would only speak when he was directly asked something, and, even then, he only gave one or two worded responses. He had always been the quietest of the four, but that was just his personality.
///
Roman was always the first to wake up, usually around 6:30, and he always started singing within five minutes of being awake. Each day he sang a different Disney song, because, even though he was five, he had an impeccable memory when it came to songs.
His singing always woke the other three, who differed in their level of annoyance.
Patton was always the most excited to hear Roman singing, and he often joined in when he knew the song. Logan... tolerated the singing, although he had made it known many times that Roman should be more considerate of the others.
And Virgil? Let's just say that he didn't appreciate Roman's daily eccentricities.
///
The day started out like any other. Roman woke up a little after 6:30. Sitting up in the twin sized bed he shared with Patton, he wrapped his red and white blanket around his shoulders and immediately started singing I'll Make A Man Out Of You, although it was quite off-key, considering that he was five. They had watched Mulan the previous evening, so the songs were still fresh in Roman's head.
Within seconds, Patton was awake, and he didn't hesitate to join Roman in singing. Instead of sitting up like Roman, Patton remained laying down on the bed, buried in the warmth of his pale blue and grey blanket, his favorite stuffed animal—a small black and grey kitten—held tight against his chest.
It wasn't too long before Logan was awoken by Patton and Roman's singing. Instead of joining them, he chose simply sit up and continue working on a Rubix Cube that was placed next to the bed he shared with Virgil, his dark blue blanket spread over his legs.
As always, Virgil was the last one to wake up, but he didn't make it known at first. Instead, he sneakily grabbed one edge of his pillow. He waited a few seconds before chucking the pillow at Roman's head.
"Roman!!" Virgil groaned from where he laid. "Why do you thing tho much?"
"Because," Roman exclaimed, stretching his arms wide. "Singing is a marvelous thing to do!!"
Virgil rolled his eyes before sitting up. "But ith tho loud."
"I do agree with Virgil," Logan said from where he was sitting. "It is rather loud, and it is not always pleasant to be woken up by singing."
Roman gasped and placed a hand on his chest. "Are you calling my singing annoying? How dare you!"
"Guys," Patton whined. "Don't fight. We gotta go have breakfast!"
Just as Patton finished, the door to their room opened, revealing their father, Thomas.
"I see you boys are all up on time," he grinned, looking at all four before focusing on Virgil and Logan. "I hope Roman wasn't too loud today."
The two boys smirked, looking at each other, and remembered what the two of them had talked about the night prior.
"Oh, he wasn't too loud, Father," Logan said, turning back to Thomas. "It was more the pitch that bothered us."
At his son's response, Thomas burst out laughing, along with three of the four quadruplets. Logan and Virgil shared a discreet fist bump. Meanwhile Roman sat on his bed, mouth hanging open and both his hands over his heart.
"I am deeply offended," he said to Logan. "You just don't appreciate how wonderful Disney is. I don't think I've ever yeard you try to sing."
"I simply prefer to spare myself the embarrassment," Logan retorted, leaning over to grab his glasses off of the table by his bed. Once he had put the glasses on, he turned to Thomas. "Is breakfast ready, Father?"
"Yes, it is," Thomas said, opening the door wide. "I made pancakes."
Upon hearing that breakfast was ready, Roman, Logan, and Virgil all climbed out of bed and headed for the door, but, when he heard "pancakes," Patton jumped out of bed and raced for the door. Before he could leave the room, Thomas scooped him up around his waist, letting the others file out of the room and into the kitchen.
"Whoa there, bud," he chuckled. "What have I told you about leaving without your glasses?"
Patton giggled, looking down at the floor. "That I need to wear them or else I'll run into everything."
"Ding ding ding!" Thomas said, setting the five-year-old down to get his glasses.
Patton quickly scrambled over to his bed, grabbing his pair of glasses and putting them in place. As soon as they were on, he ran back over to Thomas, who picked him up again and carried him to the kitchen. The two of them were just in time to see Roman fling a blueberry at Virgil, who was holding a spoon up in defense while Logan tried to make a catapult with his silverware.
"Boys!" Thomas called, and the three of them immediately froze.
"He thtarted it," Virgil called out, pointing at Roman. "He threw a rathpberry at me."
"But they threw a strawberry back at me!" Roman cried, waving a hand at Virgil and Logan while pouting in his chair.
Thomas glanced between the three of them. Roman looked like the most heinous crime had been committed against him. Meanwhile, Logan and Virgil both looked like they were trying not to laugh.
"Oh, my," Thomas sighed to himself, setting down Patton, who immediately scrambled to get in his chair. "It doesn't matter who started it. Just eat your pancakes."
With that, the tension was diffused, and the five-year-olds were eagerly digging into the pancakes in front of them. Thomas chuckled at their antics and ate the bowl of cereal he had made for himself at the island.
About five minutes into breakfast, Virgil, who had barely eaten any of his breakfast, got up from his chair and trudged over to Thomas.
"Daddy?" He asked tugging on Thomas' pant leg.
"Yes, Storm Cloud?" Thomas responded, picking Virgil up and setting him on his lap.
Virgil didn't respond at first, but, after a few seconds of twidling his thumbs, Virgil leaned closer to Thomas so that he would be the only one to hear what he said.
"I'm not hungry," Virgil whispered and immediately hid his face in his father's shoulder.
Thomas wrapped his arms around Virgil in a hug and rubbed his back softly.
"Are you not hungry, or do you not want to eat?" Thomas asked quietly. One of his high school friends had struggled with an eating disorder for a few years, so Thomas' mind immediately thought of all the worst case scenarios.
"'M not hungry," Virgil whispered, still hiding his face in Thomas' neck.
"That's alright squirt," Thomas whispered back, giving Virgil a quick squeeze. "I'll just tell Joan and Talyn that you didn't have a big breakfast. That way they'll have a bit of a head's up if you're starving at lunch."
At the mention of Joan and Talyn, a pair of Thomas' friends that ran the small daycare in their house that the quadruplets went to, Virgil immediately perked up. When Thomas saw Virgil perk up, he smiled, glad that his children got along with his close friends so well.
While the two of them were talking, Patton, Roman, and Logan had all finished their pancakes. Surprisingly, only two more pieces of fruit were thrown during that time. As Logan and Roman went to their room to get dressed, Patton ran up to Thomas and Virgil.
"Virgil!" Patton called, tugging on the sleeve of his brother's shirt. "We gotta go get dressed so we can see Joan and Talyn!"
Smiling, Virgil wiggled out of Thomas' arms and slid down onto the floor. Patton immediately grabbed his hand, and they ran back to their room.
///
About 5 hours later, the quadruplets were finishing their lunch at their private table. Virgil, having a strong liking for strawberries, noticed that Roman had a few more left on his plate. While Roman was looking the other way, he leaned across the table, snatching one of the strawberries and quickly shoving it in his mouth.
"Hey!" Roman cried, seeing what Virgil had done. "That was my strawberry!"
Virgil noticed Roman start to stand up, and he knew he was doomed. In an instant, Virgil was also up and running away from Roman.
As Virgil ran from the kitchen to the living room, he glanced over his shoulder to see where Roman was.
As he did, Roman's eyes widened and he called out, "VIRGIL! Look out!!"
But he was too late. Virgil hadn't been able to see that there was a toy right in his path, and he tripped and fell. The impact from the fall caused the half-eaten strawberry in his mouth to become lodged in his airway.
From their spots at the table, Logan and Patton had been watching Roman chase Virgil, but, upon seeing Virgil fall, they raced out of their chairs and over to where Roman was crouched over him.
When they got there, Virgil was gesturing to his throat and wheezing slightly. Logan immediately kneeled down next to him.
"Virgil!" he said calmly. "Can you tell us what's wrong?"
Virgil frantically shook his head and pointed to his throat.
"Fuck," Patton yelled. "Guys, he's choking! We gotta do the Heimlich!"
Both Roman and Logan turned to Patton, shocked that he had sworn.
Choosing to ignore it, Roman quickly asked, "What's the Heimlich?"
"No time to explain!" Logan cried, turning back to Virgil and helping him stand up.
Patton stood behind Vigil, placing one hand just under his ribcage in a fist and grabbing it with the other. Patton immediately started squeezing Virgil, trying to get the strawberry out.
After just a few squeezes, they all heard Virgil take a deep breath and proceed to cough up the strawberry.
Immediately, Patton jumped away from Virgil, hands held out in front of him. He stared at his hands, trying to process what had just happened. His brother had been choking, and he had used the Heimlich to save him.
Patton didn't even realize that he had started to shake or that his breathing had gotten shallow. He was too focused on the fact that his brother could have died.
Before he knew it, tears were slowly crawling down his face while he gasped for breath. He had sunk to his knees on the floor, his arms wrapped around his stomach to try and make himself stop shaking.
Virgil, who was in the middle of being smothered in hugs and questions, saw Patton kneeling, and was instantly concerned when he saw the tears.
Extricating himself from the group hug, he walked over to Patton, who was too out of it to notice his approach.
Kneeling in front of Patton, Virgil placed his hands on his shoulders. The contact made Patton look up, but seeing Virgil only caused him to cry more.
"Patton?" Virgil asked timidly, causing the other boy to look up again. "What'th wrong?"
"Y-y-you c-could ha-have died, V-Virgil!" Patton sobbed, curling in on himself. "Y-you c-could ha-have d-died i-if... i-if I..."
More tears prevented Patton from finishing his sentence, but Virgil could tell what he was trying to say.
"But, Pat," Virgil said, pulling him into a hug. Patton immediately clung to him in a death grip. "I didn't die. I'm okay, and it'th cauth of you."
Patton nodded weakly, but he didn't speak.
When Virgil had left the group hug to check on Patton, Roman and Logan had stood by, allowing the two of them to have their moment. After they saw Virgil hug Patton, they walked over and joined the hug on either side of Patton and Virgil.
It took a few minutes, but Patton eventually stopped crying. When he had, he pulled back from the hug to wipe the remaining tears off his face. While doing so, he saw Joan and Talyn watching the four of them from the edge of the room. Joan had their phone out and looked like they were waiting for someone to either text them or call them. Talyn looked like they were about to pass out.
When Patton had pulled back from the hug, Logan took that time to glance at the watch he had gotten for the previous Christmas.
"Guys," he said, gaining his brothers' attention. "It's nap time. Should we go to our spot?"
The three other boys agreed, and they all helped each other get up off the floor. They headed to the couch in the other corner of the living room, which was their designated spot for nap time.
Climbing onto the couch, the four of them laid down in a heap, limbs everywhere. None of them cared though, not even when Virgil elbowed Roman in the stomach.
They were just glad that they were still a group of four best friends.
Bonus scene:
After seeing the quadruplets head over to the couch, Talyn pulled Joan into the kitchen by their arm.
"That's why I don't want you cursing like a sailor in front of the kids!!" Talyn scolded, arms crossed in front of their chest as they turned to face Joan.
"What's why you don't want me cursing?" Joan asked, confused about what Talyn was talking about.
"Patton swore! Didn't you hear him?!?!" Talyn whisper yelled, not wanting to wake the kids.
"Yeah, I heard him," Joan said. "But I don't see why it's a huge deal."
Talyn rolled their eyes, unable to believe what Joan just said.
"Good for you," they replied, starting to walk out of the room. "But you're gonna have to explain to Thomas when he asks why his five-year-old is swearing."

Back in March, I wrote a post for the “Squad” OWLS tour, the prompt was about friendship and as support for the topic, I decide to go with the anime and manga series, Seraph of the End (Owari no Serafu). I decided focus the post on Guren to show what one can do for their friend(s), even if they shouldn’t be friend with them in first place.
I have to say, I really enjoyed writing this post, not only cause I love the series, but also because of what Guren was ready to do for his friend, in fact, more I was writing the post, more I was liking him and seeing him under a new light (I still have trouble to fully trust him tho)
I was almost done with the post when I thought of and other series I could have used for the March tour. The series I was thinking about, portrayed a really different kind of friendship than seen in Seraph of the End.
The series I’m thinking about is K-Project, the focus would have been on the relation between Fushimi and Yata. The more I was thinking Fushimi and Yata, the more I wanted to write about what happened between them and why their friendship ended the way it ended.
K-Project also simply known as K is an original anime series, produced by the studio GoHand (Hand Shakers), counting two seasons and a movie (starting from July 2018, seven other movies will be release) different manga and light novel. The first season, aired from October 2012 to December 2012, the second season title K: Return of Kings aired from October 2015 to December 2015. The movie was released between the two seasons in July 2014. To know more about the K franchise, you can visit the Wikia fan page. This post gonna be mainly based on the information found in the manga “Lost Small World” which follow the story of Fushimi and Yata from before they joined Homra until they part away.
GoRa
The manga gonna get a movie adaptation that will be presented in -Japanese – theaters on October 6th (from all the K Seven Stories coming out it’s the one I’m looking forward the most.)
After talking about it with my really good friend Zel from ARCHI-ANIME, she said that I should still write a post about it and since I’m a really good friend, I’m listening to her.
So here we are, after a long introduction, my thought on the relationship between Fushimi and Yata.
** As always the post will or might contains spoilers **
************
What do we know about the relation between Fushimi and Yata, if we only take in consideration the anime series?
On one side, Fushimi seems quite enjoying pissing-off Yata and on the other Yata thinki Fushimi is traitor and cannot be trusted (which is not too far from the true since Fushimi left/defected the Red Clan to join a rival clan).
This is what we can understand from the anime, of course thing change a little bit between them toward the end of the second season, but for the most of the series Fushimi is seen teasing Yata and Yata reply with his flame.
This is what the series show us, however, there was a time where both were really close friend, they were what we would call best friend.
So why they aren’t best friend anymore? Why Fushimi left, betray, the Red Clan and Yata for the Blue Clan and Munataka?
First off, you need to know their friendship didn’t had a solid foundation since the beginning, the reason why Fushimi and Yata became friend is because the former was craving for attention and the latter was giving him this attention. Between you and me, this doesn’t make a really solid base, cause soon as one or the other change their surroundings, thing stop being the way they were before. In the present case, when Yata and Fushimi joined the Red Clan (I have to say Yata was way more thrilled about it than Fushimi), Yata got a new group of friend, new interests. Yata always been the friendly type, an idiot that need a lot of explanation, but he was always friendly with a kind of child’s innocence. Fushimi never really find his place in the Red Clan, it wasn’t his idea and always thought they were better off without them, they didn’t need those rascal in their life. More days they were passing with the Red Clan furthers was drifting away Yata from Fushimi, Yata fitted in the group and he was always in adoration in front of the Red King, Suoh Mikoto, the very cool blazing king. This adoration Fushimi was once the object, he was slowly losing him, this attention he craved so much for wasn’t his anymore.
Fushimi needed it, he needed to be noticed, acknowledged. He needed someone to look at him like if he was the coolest guy of Japan, the smartest of the planet. He needed because no one in his family never gave him. His mom was always more interested in her company than in her son well-being, Fushimi always referred to “This man wife” when talking about his mother and for her he was only “Niki’s son”
His father, Fushimi Niki, wasn’t better, in fact he was worse than her, he was barely at home and when he was, he was making sure to torment his son. Niki was an intelligent man coming from a wealthy family, but alas money and intelligence doesn’t make him a competent father. If he named his son Saruhiko it’s because the first time he saw him not long after his son birth, Niki said that he was ugly and looked like a monkey (Saru means monkey in japanese) just to tell you how he was seeing his son (and as a really good mom, Saruhiko’s mother just laugh telling her husband he was right).
I can give you a more concrete example of how twisted his father was.
One day little Saruhiko was examining an anthill, for a school project, he was fascinated by it. Seeing how much his son was enjoying watching the anthill, Niki decide to pour fuel in it and set it on fire in front of his toddler son…great father right. I can also tell you about that one time little Saruhiko wanted to race against his father to solve a Rubik’ Cube, Saruhiko finished quickly and look at his father proud of himself thinking his father would have done the race with him, however, Niki never solved the cube puzzle instead he waited for his son to finish his cube, looked at him and break the cube apart while smiling.
Niki always took pleasure in destroying what Saruhiko cared about.
Little Saruhiko learnt the hard way that everything that he loved can be destroyed.
His family was clearly dysfunctional, he never really had friend, how one can develop social aptitude when he is ignored or psychological tortured by the people who should have taught him how to socialize with the people around him, his parents. Saruhiko was relief when his father died, Saruhiko go see him at the hospital, he screamed his anger at the corpse. Yata had to stop him cause he was about to go out of control. That was the effect Niki had on his son. Even after his death, he was still tormenting Saruhiko. He was still seeing him in his dreams (nightmare is more appropriate), he was hallucinating him, he even saw him through his smartphone (until Munataka come in and hinted Saruhiko his phone had a virus, virus sent by Aya his cousin)
His familial background made him asocial, preferring the company of computer than human being, during his middle school days, Fushimi was passing more time locked in the toilet stall with his own computer program than in class. And that is where he met Yata. (no wonder their relation became like shit…)
Yata Misaki didn’t really have a great life either before Fushimi, but it was still better than his friend. While he didn’t came from a wealthy family, he came from a loving one, his mother was remarried, but his step-sibling loved him and he was a caring big brother. Yata always been pretty friendly and easy-going, however he was also not the smartest tool of the shed. He state it himself, he is an idiot that need to have thing repeated and explained to him more than once before he get it. This also made him a little bit naive, there is time that people pretend to be his friend for later just throw him away, which affect him. He might have come from a pretty normal family, but Yata was still looking for friends he could trust and a place where he could belong.
He found the first when he met Fushimi in the bathroom stall of their school (fanfic material here) Fushimi was playing a game involving calculation and Yata was pretty amazed about that Starting from there, they boy start to hang out together and eventually they became best friend, they were always together and they both decide to not go in high-school, they found a place to live, not a great place, but it was their place, a place where they both belong, where they talk, talk about taking over the world.
Thing could have stayed like that and their friendship would have remained unchanged, however one day they cross the path of the Red Clan and his King, Mikoto and few days laters That Yata had to beg the Red King to protect his best friend. This day Yata wanted to find a way to be able to not rely on other, he wanted to be stronger, that is why he reach the Red Clan, and Fushimi just tag along. To this day, I still have the feeling Yata never really planned to join the clan, but after receiving the Homra mark, he felt like he finally had found that place he had been looking for.
Quickly, Yata made friend with the other member of the group. While Yata was making his place within the Red Clan, Fushimi looked from afar wondering why Mikoto was so incredible, not only he was slowly losing the attention Yata was giving him, but for the other clan member, Fushimi didn’t had something special, they wasn’t acknowledging for what he could to, Fushimi didn’t had any purpose within the Red Clan. Fushimi never felt like he was belonging to this place, a place where his best friend was happy, where he could be happy with him he doubted that he was at the right place, the Homra sign on his chest was painful which shouldn’t normally be and he was scared of Mikoto. Yata and Fushimi was slowly drifting apart, and thing become harder for the old friend.
Fushimi realize that Yata wasn’t the same anymore, at least in his eyes, when the latter stopped being there for him. Fushimi is not the type who would open up easily, so if he need to talk about so matter, like the scary hallucinations he had of his deceased father, his friend should have been ready to listen to him, however it wasn’t the case, Yata was more busy talking about how awesome the Red Clan and Mikoto was than paying attention to Fushimi, he never realized once the one he used to call best friend needed him to be by side. Of course Fushimi always wanted to monopolize Yata attention that what he needed since he never had it before.
Yata always lacked of discernment not being able to read the mood, now don’t get me wrong I don’t blame Yata for what happened between them, Fushimi was also in the wrong for not trying to talk more to him, Fushimi knew how Yata was, he was already like that when they were in middle school. Yata Misaki always been a little bit pushy, no matter how many time Fushimi tried to push him away, the chestnut-haired boy always came back without taking in consideration how Fushimi was feeling, Yata is not the type to listen other. despite the fact that at first Fushimi was annoyed by that, slowly he came to accept Yata presence and stop to push the one who will become his best friend away. Fushimi knew Yata wasn’t able to read the situation however there was time his friend could figure out what was going on with is own process of thinking and there was time he hit the middle of the target. The one time Fushimi had wished Yata would get by himself that his friend needed his help, Yata didn’t and I think it affected Fushimi more than he let it appear. However Fushimi being Fushimi, he said nothing to make himself to be understood and pushed Yata away one last time, thinking he didn’t need him anymore. Fushimi was bitter, Yata wasn’t the one he use to be, they weren’t talking about taking over the world anymore, Yata was all about Homra a group where Fushimi didn’t fit in, a group where Fushimi never tried to fit in. Yata is surely not the only one to blame for what happened between them, Fushimi also have his part of responsibilities for not speaking earlier to Yata, for not telling him how he felt.
By pushing Yata away, Fushimi didn’t had anything to tie him back to the Red Clan, plus Munataka, the Blue King saw the potential the young man had and offer him to join his clan instead. At first Fushimi wasn’t sure of the choice he should make, however he saw in the Blue clan something he needed, something the Red clan didn’t gave him, acknowledgement. Munataka would give Fushimi a reason to use his skill and purpose in life a d place where he could belong. All the thing Mikoto and the Red clan could give to Fushimi, Munataka and the Blue clan would give it to him.
As you can guess, Yata didn’t welcome the news with his usual cheerful attitude and it didn’t took long for him to call the one who was his best friend a traitor. Fushimi burned the mark he had on the chest mocking Yata and his pride.
Fushimi and Yata friendship was probably bound to be broken, it didn’t have a stable foundation like communication or mutual understanding, both were polar opposite. While Fushimi never missed a chance to piss-off Yata, in the end he still cared about his old friend and former clan, finding information for them. The one of the thing Fushimi was scared of, was to become like his father, however Yata told him that it will never happen since Fushimi had something his father, Niki, didn’t had, a conscience and in his “ book he was straight up guy”
I know my title include the words broken friendship, however while their friendship was indeed broken for some years, in the end they made up and start a new when Fushimi finally decide to talk to Yata about what happened
Friendship are important in a person life, friend are there when the family is not, they are there to support you, this is why they need to be chosen and once you get them you need to nourish this friendship and make sure it never wither.
It wasn’t an OWLS post, but it could have been one, hope you enjoyed the read, cause I really enjoyed writing it.
Once again thank to my fabulous friend Zel for pushing me to write this post.
~ Thank you for Reading ~
The Tale of a Broken Friendship Between a Monkey and a Crow Back in March, I wrote a post for the “Squad” OWLS tour, the prompt was about friendship and as support for the topic, I decide to go with the anime and manga series, …

Mystical Mystery Kids AU
In yet another bout of excellence over on the UF Discord we have created yet another really neat AU, one that I happen to enjoy quite a bit because it has le angst in it ahahaha (plus design wise it has a lot of really awesome potential) So yeah, have a bunch of headcanons we’ve come up with (plus some original ones of my own) under the cut!
So the backstory of this AU actually starts a waaaaaaay long time ago, back in the days of ancient Egypt. So we got our Mystery kids but they’re of course Egyptian but they still like go solve mysteries and hang out and whatever (idk this part is the part I don’t generally find as interesting as the present day of this AU)
So one day the kids are wandering around or whatever and they discover the truth that Bill (who, as we know from... some extra canon stuff idk) basically had the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids as monuments to him or whatever) is actually a geometric bastard who wants the world for himself
So the kids are all set to expose the truth to everyone but then Bill himself shows up and decides to silence the kids by cursing them, turning them each into a different kind of mythological monster
So in this we have Gem-corrupted (but still sorta sentient) rose monster Steven, dragon Dipper, Pegasus Mabel, and roc Connie
So yeah these kids are pretty much screwed because there’s no way to undo the curse (cause Bill is an ass) and they kinda can’t really hang about in human society anymore so they all just flee and go off on their own and stick together as they wander around, eternally stuck in their monstrous forms (they basically have unlimited life spans, but they can be killed (which will come into play later on)
And eventually these kids find their way to Gravity Falls, which is where all of the weird things usually tend to congregate, and that’s where they settle down
Now of course the Gems were around back in the day so they’re completely distraught about what happened to the kids, but Garnet I guess, has a vision that they’ll all eventually meet again someday in this place called Gravity Falls, so they decide to move there and play the waiting game, hoping that they can see Steven again someday
Now flash forward to the modernish era and the Mystery Kids get... uh... offed; basically they all die, probably in roughly the same way
BUT because the curse thing Bill put on them is sorta like this eternal thing, upon their deaths, the kids actually reincarnate into the modern Mystery Kids we all know and love
Now at first, these kids are all born human and normal and such, but as they grow up they gradually start to transform into the monsters they used to be (and they gradually start gaining memories of their past lives too)
So let’s break it down into how it goes for each one of the kids (and I’m kinda gonna be doing some copy pasting from Discord here so bear with me)
So Steven; he’s not part Gem anymore, at least not apparently; but the Gems happen to find him with no parents around and they realize he’s basically identical to their old Steven they lost centuries ago, so of course they decide to take him in and basically raise him
However, he gradually turns back into that corrupted rose monster over the years and to quote @7-galaxys here (cause she came up with some really good ideas for this AU): “ OK so for Steven, there ain't no flower shops in Gravity Falls or Beach City, but the CG often portal to different places and whenever Steven comes along and finds Roses, he keeps them. He's got an uncanny ability to care for roses, so even starts his own rose garden. (Yet, as soon as the gems gave him seeds for other flowers, Steven couldn't care for them nearly as well and it always frustrates him) He's always got this distinct smell of roses about him, and really likes the color pink. He's usually calm, but small things will set him off (like when he's scared or hurt). Lots of people noticed he acts in an almost animal way, but everyone just chalked it up to HIS weird and mysterious past (showed up outta nowhere with 3 aliens- definitely not normal) that's also a bit pinkish. At one point, en STEVEN'S 12 or something, he noticed that some rose petals stuck to his skin. When he tried pulling them off, they refused to budge. When they finally did come off, he felt paint and was bleeding...thankfully they fell off on their own, but Steven started wearing sweaters after that to hide his new, strange skin. If they're on his hair though, he'll leave am cause he like an there and no one really questions it. Weird kid=weird habits”
So yeah, like I said, gradual transformations over the course of several years that even the kids themselves are sorta baffled by
Now for Connie, her and her family have always lived in Gravity Falls; however as she started to turn back into a roc (which is like this huge eagle-like bird if you don’t know), her parents kinda keep her inside a lot because they don’t want people to freak out over their half-bird daughter
And, quoting Galaxies again: “Connie was always ridiculously light, even when she was born; her parents worried she wasn't the right weight, but everyone was surprised when she survived to infancy. Her X-rays how ARE always really weird (Connie was born with kinda hollow bones) but NO one figured out why. She was always so interested with birds, and I guess in this AU, is a needs glasses because her pre-roc vision and her now human vision were colliding a lot, which made it difficult to see. When she was about 8, she began to grow feathers, and thats when her parents didn't let her go outside anymore. Connie's nose began to grow kinda weird, and sometimes her skin kinda had scales like how talons did? It was weird. One time, on a school field trip before her shut in, she was visiting the aviary habitat where birds fly around, yeah? And when she whistled (only she knew how to whistle out of the whole grade- she claimed no one taught her tho) all the birds flocked to her area, or at least most of them. One of them perched on her head and she stayed in the habitat the whole day.”
Now for the twins, they’re still born in California and again, seems like they’re all right and normal at first, but gradually Dipper starts turning back into a dragon (a tiny lil one) and Mabel turns back into a Pegasus
Galaxies, once more, weighs in: “Dipper's skin occasionally gets really tough and one time, he touched the stove while there was FIRE and it was hot AF but there wasn't a burn, Mabel always had a strong connection with horses and loved the idea of pegasai (But would sometimes point out that they looked....wrong somehow and she could never say how) and the twins always felt like they couldn't always communicate with people and DIPPER FUCKING LOVES REPTILES and Mabel always had this crazy endurance and a ridiculously fast metabolism and Dipper gets fangs and will sometimes growl”
So yeah of course the Pines parents don’t really know how to handle their kids’ alarming transformations, so they kinda panic and send them up to live with Stan in Gravity Falls (when they’re like, idk maybe 8 or 9) because apparently all sorts of weird shit happens up there, so they’ll probably be safe there, right?
So Stan takes them in and he finds their transformations to be pretty weird yea, but he’s supportive and comforting because well, Stan is the best
So the kids meet each other about the same time they do in UF and they all quickly bond because by that point they’re just about all fully monsters (I’d say the transformation would basically be complete around the time their past lives got cursed, which would be when they were 12/13 whatever)
So yeah through meeting each other that awakens even more past live memories and the kids eventually remember their former bond and that only brings them even closer together (the Gems are baffled but delighted by the way to see the kids again, even if they are still monsters)
Also, being a dragon Dipper FUCKING HORDES A LOT OF RANDOM STUFF and it drives Mabel crazy (Stan and Amethyst use Dipper as a regular advantage on their revenge trips tho cause he’s got such an apparent knack for stealing lol)
As for more extemporaneous stuff, when Dipper, Mabel, and Connie all grow their wings it HURTS like hell for all of them, poor kiddos (a lot of this transformation stuff would likely hurt them cause ya know, they spend years turning from humans into literal monsters)
Steven sometimes sheds his petals and they’re apparently very rare and highly valued for their healing properties
Steven’s also the only one of the MK who can’t fly but he compensates for that by being able to run very fast and jump very far
Despite being a dragon, like I said, Dipper’s a pretty small one, so he’d be the tiniest of the MK here (with Connie being the biggest cause ya know, giant bird)
Mabel still has a diet that consists of a lot of sugar (cause ya know, horses, sugar cubes lol), Steven’s pretty much an herbivore, while Dipper and Connie are both total carnivores
The kids kinda spend most of their time hanging out in the woods because they know they’ll probably be safe from humans being afraid of them out there (though they do trust Stan and the Gems of course)
Aaaaaaand that’s about all of the main things for this AU but idk its a nifty idea (I’ve already sketched up what dragon Dipper and beast Steven look like so I’ll probably finish those up one of these days and do designs for the girls as well)
Either way, as always, lemme know what ya think and if you got any HCs you’d like to add! Tbh this one is pretty neat (I love slow transformation situations) so I may write something for it in the future, idk its angsty but cute ^_^

steve: can rey and ben join the avengers thx
rey: rey would ruin all the undercover stuff
steve: GUYS http://www.cinemablend.com/new/An-Avenge...
rey: she cant work the sweatshirt, sunglasses, and hat
rey: bYE
thor: the instant steve announced the challenge, thor tore his way through the ballpit and lunged after him, mere seconds behind. the very first tunnel proved to be a challenge in and of itself, however. huffing out a frustrated breath, thor awkwardly half-shimmied, half-crawled through. "these tunnels weren't made for asgardians, that much is clear." by the time he finally made it through the other side of his fifth tunnel, his chest was heaving with exertion and the sides of his arms were bright red from squeezing through the tunnel walls. "i surrender," he called out grudgingly. without warning, he collapsed onto his back in the middle of the tunnel, thankful that this one was at least made up of some type of rope rather than the hard plastic of the others.
thor: rip thor
thor: CROSSO VE R OH MY GKSL
steve: rey drag him with ur jakku junk dragger™
thor: LOL nah she can just climb over his corpse it's ok
steve: I WAS TRYING TO FIND A PIC OF THE JUNK DRAGGER AND I FOUND THIS http://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/...
rey: rey immediately got into competitive mode as soon as steve brought up the challenge. within moments, she was crawling through the holes and squeezing past crevices with ease. scavenging in small areas helped with that, along with her tiny body. unfortunately, an irregular diet helped with /that/. but finally she slipped through the last tunnel and came out victoriously, holding her arms up. "i win!" she grinned happily. then she laughed as she saw that thor was stuck, and moved quickly to him, placing her hands on her hips. "maybe if you weren't so strong, this wouldn't be happening," she teased.
steve: LIKE OMF
rey: no shell just go cuddle him
steve: IT LOOKS SO REAL
rey: WTF I THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL AT FIRST
thor: OH DANG WTF
thor: IT DOES LOOK REAL
steve: steve took a seat in the cube area that connected two tunnels, letting rey pass him up. even for a super soldier it was really hard. he got a glimpse of thor laying in the center of a rope tunnel. as soon as rey announced her victory, steve found a slide by the next tunnel up. he even slid down it defeatedly. "i'm too old for this." the avenger mumbled as he got to the bottom of the slide, which ended a few feet from rey. if laser tag included narrow passages, then he would be on his way to the area where the parents sat earlier.
steve: cap is #done
steve: i love how thor and steve can beat the fuck out of huge robots and space dragons but fail at playgrounds

thor: I PASSED OUT LAST NIGHT RIP ME
thor: thankfully, thor recovered swiftly. he had no intention of navigating his way through the godforsaken tunnels to get out, however. "my strength is not the problem," he informed rey, eyes glinting as he realized exactly how he could escape this monstrosity. rolling over onto his stomach, he grabbed hold of the ropes directly below him and forcefully pulled them apart. they surrendered easily to his strength, the tunnel giving out underneath him in a matter of seconds. landing in a crouch, he shot rey a grin. "see? these fragile midgardian materials cannot hold the mighty thor."
thor: thor has no chill tbh

rey rey giggled in admiration as she watched thor literally rip the ropes apart, and land in a crouching position. then she met up with steve and shook her head. "no..." she complained dejectedly, reaching her hands out to him. "we-we still have the trampolines. and-and laser tag!" she grinned, hoping to get his spirits up.

steve: HEY BITCHES
thor: aYYYYY IT'S STEEB THE DWEEB
steve: steve hoisted himself up from the slide, joining rey and a crouching thor. he had no idea what a laser tag was or why they'd let children play it, but he proceeded to agree anyway. the laser tag facility was unlike anything he had ever seen. the room was pitch black, aside from the various neon obstacles and graffiti on the walls. there were staircases leading to ramps above the floor. there were guns, presumably 'lasers', lining the wall next to the entrance. steve grabbed a laser, before tossing two to rey and thor.
steve
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8pmB7nlC9mI
i watched this shit
thor: omfg i admire ur devotion sm
thor: thor caught the weapon effortlessly, though he held it slightly away from himself in wary consideration. it appeared to be of the same style as most other midgardian weapons, yet they were used for games? reminding himself that steve was the one handing them over – so it couldn't be /that/ harmful – he wrapped his hands more securely around the gun in preparation for battle. leaning close to rey, he murmured, "join forces with me?"
thor: rip steve
steve: https://49.media.tumblr.com/e0a9dce6eefe...
thor: LMFAO
thor: get out ben, this ain't ur battle
steve: if ben found out this was happening he would be like http://66.media.tumblr.com/a95daaf244c20...
thor: LOL BEN OMG CALM DOWN
rey: IM HERE
rey: IM H ER EE
rey: FCK
thor: FIN ALLY
rey: HUSH
thor: NO
steve: HI
rey rey followed steve up the stairs, making sure thor was there behind her, then giggled excitedly at the pitch black play area. she carefully caught the laser gun he tossed her, grunting slightly at the force, then looked up as thor leaned down beside her. she giggled silently, hand going over her mouth, and nodded her head swiftly. "let's do it," she whispered back, then winked and moved to steve. "okay, let's spread out first. i'll start our guns with the panel on the wall. then we go. agreed?"
rey: HI BABE
steve: steve caught a glimpse of the two whispering out of the corner of his eye. he was too busy trying to scope out the area to realize what was going on. "okay." cap spoke as he zeroed in on the perfect spot. as soon as their guns were activated, the avenger was bolting up the stairs to the first hanger. the ramp was dark so soon enough he lost sight of the two. he kept his gun on the rail in true assassin fashion, ready to shoot at the friends.
steve: steve learned his moves from bucky ))
steve: wtF IS THAT THING
rey: thE EMOJI OMF
rey:
thor: tHE EMOJIS LMAO
steve: steve, finding out his friends are t8rs:
steve: tr8s***
rey: t8r tots
thor: "agreed." thor slid his finger over the trigger, readying himself. it didn't surprise him when steve was the first to take off as soon as rey gave the signal. considering his history as a soldier, thor had opted to take on an ally against him for that very reason. with one last nod at rey, he began navigating his way after steve as quietly as a man of his build could manage. it was much too dark, however, and thor soon found himself using one of the several odd glowing pillars for cover as his gaze scanned the area for signs of movement.
thor: T8R TOTS
thor: delish
rey "okay, ready? go!" rey shouted to them once they were all dispersed, using the force to start up the panel that gave their guns power. she began running along, mainly for cover at first, and ducked expertly behind walls using her stealthy silence. soon, she saw steve on the second floor and grinned to herself, running up the back stairs. she stayed ducked behind a wall, but stuck her gun out just enough to zero in on her target, and shoot rapidly at him, the sound effects going off.
rey: LOL
thor: GET HIM REY GET HIM
rey: if ben and rey ever played laser tag, shed get v emotional bc she tried to go after him with a gun on takodana rip
thor: sudden feels
steve: steve caught a glimpse of someone shuffling behind a pillar below. his finger snuck down to the trigger, slowly but surely ready to shoot the target. alas, his grand moment was ruined when laser beams sounded off behind him. he expected thor to be the one behind the shots, but he was faced with rey crouching behind a wall below. "rey, you traitor!" the super soldier exclaimed, surprisingly offended by her actions. he took off down the stairs determined to take her down.
rey: feel trip
steve: pft ben wouldn't go into the laser tag room, the darkness is too ~tempting~
rey: 'Does Rey call you Daddy ' riP
rey: the darkness works with his aesthetic tho
steve: wtF
rey: YEP U GOT US SHE SO DOES
steve: i don gettit
thor: the commotion from nearby, quickly followed by steve's shout, brought a grin to thor's face. remaining in place, he cocked his head and listened closely for the careless series of telltale stomps down the stairs as steve searched for his victim. alas, thor fully intended to protect his ally. as soon as he heard the other man moving passed his pillar, thor lunged out from behind it, sound effects deafening the quiet as he unloaded a series of shots directly at steve. "hide, rey!"
thor: oMG i saw that ask & i screamed
rey rey couldn't stop laughing as she ran as fast as she could away from steve, tripping over her own feet every now and then, though she allowed herself a break as she heard thor's gun go off, meaning he found steve. now was her chance. she ran up the stairs steve had been on earlier and crouched behind a wall again, then fired her gun... at thor. she fired shot after shot, right when he least expected it, then turned her gun on steve as well, continuing to laugh as she nailed them both. "sorry, i had to trick ya!"
steve: the confusion on his face was absolutely priceless as rey shot at them both. he was unbelievably aggrieved that the two had teamed up against him, but then this? steve didn't spare the laughing girl a look before lifting his laser and shooting it at her. "number one rule of war, skywalker: never get distracted on the battlefield."

rey: HAHAHAHAHAH
rey: OMFG
thor: his own ally had turned on him. when steve turned his own weapon on her in return, thor used it as cover, swiftly moving to circle around rey. it would have been a prime opportunity to shoot her again, but she deserved far worse than that. throwing an arm around her waist, he lifted her off her feet and draped her over his shoulder. "no more fun," he announced in a cheerful tone as he casually made his way back to the captain. "rogers, how do you punish traitors on this planet?"
rey "hey!" rey gasped as steve shot her, moving to run away again, then shrieked and laughed hard as thor picked her up and laid her across his shoulder, kicking her feet playfully. her gun slipped out of her hands in the midst of all the fighting, and she was laughing even harder as they approached steve, crossing her arms stubbornly. "not fair!"
rey: i shouldve had her say 'spank me, daddy'
steve: NO

steve: "well, it usually goes something like.." steve pretended to stroke his chin in thought, before deciding on a torture method. "tickling. lots of it. it worked on the nazis every time." the captain joked lightly, letting his gun clatter to the floor beside him. "tickling on a trampoline seems pretty brutal to me."

rey: ON A TRAMPOLINE
steve: can u imagine thor and cap on a trampoline like girl
rey: yum
rey: ive gotta go yeet to the shower after i do this next reply
thor: "tickling it is." tossing his weapon onto the floor as well, thor then turned on his heel and began making his way for wherever the 'trampolines' were. eventually, he managed to find them – and stepped onto the closest one without even hesitating. instantly the unstable, bouncy terrain threw him off-balance, and his grasp on rey loosened as he fell onto his back. as soon as his head stopped spinning, he spoke dryly, "/this/ is supposed to be fun?"
thor: prepare 4 me 2 randomly pass out again as soon as u shower xoxo
rey: omg ill try 2 hurry rip
rey "no, no, no!" rey protested and shook her head swiftly, knowing how ticklish she was, and laughed again as thor carried her to the trampolines, though she gasped as well as he fell, allowing her to break free from his hold. "yeah, it's so much fun! look!" she giggled and began jumping up and down, reaching her hands out to steve.
thor: if u guys would just move to the superior east coast this wouldn't be a probLEM

thor: upon carefully finding his footing (which proved immensely more difficult when rey was bouncing all over the place) thor stepped over to join the pair engaged in a one-sided tickle fight. bending his knees a couple of times in a test bounce, he glanced down at rey with undeniable smugness. "i would help you, but this is your rightful fate after betraying me." and if asgardians were good at anything, it was holding grudges.
thor: i love how we're all rarely on at the same time lmao
rey: thats so tru
thor: REY MEETING LOKI THO
rey "no!" rey shrieked as steve began tickling her, causing her to completely lose her footing. his hands were the only things holding her up now, and she was laughing so hard it was almost silent. and thor wasn't helping. time to pull the guilt card. "ow, steve. /ow/," she winced, hand going to her ribs, where he had bruised her from hugging her too hard. "it hurts, stop..."
rey: rey u bitch

thor: hOW DO WE ALWAYS MISS EACH OTHER WTF
thor: thor's earlier amusement quickly turned into a whirlwind of confusion and concern. while steve withdrew, the asgardian lowered himself to a crouch beside rey, his hand tentatively enveloping her shoulder.

steve: im here

rey rey bit the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing. the bruise was already almost gone, and she wasn't hurt at all. she just liked to mess with her boys. as thor asked his question, the smile finally spread across her cheeks as she shook her head, easily rising to her feet and bouncing up and down a bit. "actually, i'm feeling a lot better," she giggled and winked before bouncing away as she laughed even harder, knowing they'd want to get their revenge. "gotcha!"
thor: thor picked himself up off the ground, reaching up and patting the back of his head in the process. the bun still held. huh. it really did hold better thanks to rey's superior method. "if anyone attempts to arrest us, i'll stop them," he replied with confidence. narrowing his eyes in rey's direction, he added, "besides, i don't wish to ever come back here again. it will only remind me of betrayal."
rey at the mention of getting arrested again, rey's smile immediately disappeared as she stopped her bouncing, fidgeting with her fingers nervously. she felt slightly more relieved at thor's promise of keeping them out of jail, nodding her head. then she moved to thor and couldn't help but wrap her arms around him, still overall grateful that he would even think about stopping people from arresting them. she couldn't do that again. "thank you..." she whispered, then reached a hand out to steve.

"thank you..." she whispered, then reached a hand out to steve.
steve: "don't worry about getting arrested." the captain shot a smile to rey. "rey has the force. she can get us out of everything." he spoke highly of the girl, grasping her palm in his.
thor: though thor was supposed to be annoyed with her, he couldn't help but soften as her small arms wrapped around him. he enveloped her in one of his own in return, rubbing one of her shoulders. "the force?" he repeated, brows furrowing. "she is tiny. what force could she have?"
rey "...if snoke doesn't get in my way..." rey replied quietly in a pessimistic manner, glancing shyly up at steve. then she clasped onto his hand before looking up at thor, smiling softly. "the force surrounds us all. it controls... basically everything. watch," she whispered then turned to the ball pit, lifting her free hand up. but nothing was happening. "...no," she breathed out, shaking her head as she tried again and again to at least make one of the small, colored balls levitate. "no, no, no..." she could feel its absence in her mind, in her heart. with snoke so strong now, it was hard to keep in touch with it. "steve, i-i can't- it's gone..."
steve: snoke. he had heard that name before.. it was the sith lord who invaded rey's brain. the captain moved closer to her, bending down slightly to get a better look at her. "are you alright?" he pressed. at times like this, he wished wanda was here to help.
thor: if the force surrounded them all, thor had no idea how he'd never sensed it before. he watched, captivated, as rey seemed to be attempting to do something –– but failed. "what's gone? the force?" thor looked back and forth between steve and rey, faintly irritated over his lack of understanding. instinctively, his arm tightened around her shoulders, pulling her in closer. "we will help you find it."
rey rey looked into steve's eyes nervously as he ducked his head down to look at her, much like derek did when she was upset about something. "it-it doesn't hurt yet, but i can't... i can't focus on doing it," she whispered, wrapping her arms around thor again as he hugged her. then she nodded her head and stepped back as she took a deep breath, thinking about the hope that both steve and her new friend, thor, had for her. she closed her eyes and held her hand up again, focusing as hard as she could. when she opened her eyes, only one ball had popped out of the pit, and rolled a few inches on the ground, then stopped. she sighed heavily and buried her face in her hands, hoping she wasn't losing touch with the force for good.

steve: steve smiled gently as the ball rolled forward. he knew it must have took a lot to persevere with snoke inside of her mind. "don't get upset." the avenger chastised the girl. "you just need to.. find the force again. is there anyone who can help you?" he knew that rey had multiple family members in magnolia. they had to be able to help her, someway or somehow. "could we help you?"
thor: a ball levitated in midair, seemingly doing so as a result of rey's concentration. thor barely heard steve as the man spoke, too busy gaping at the ball in newfound fascination. an amazed laugh escaped him. "did you move that with your mind?" he turned to face rey, eyes dancing with enthusiasm over what he had just witnessed. "is this the force? i did not realize you were capable of something so incredible." after a pause in which the solemn mood washed over him, he added, "if you could do that, then the force is still within you. you haven't lost it."
rey rey turned sheepishly towards the two again, nodding her head to steve. but then, noting thor's reaction, her own expression lightened slightly, her shoulders straightening. "r-really...?" she whispered, feeling more reassured by the way he was so interested in her force skills. "as-as long as snoke's here, i don't think i can get any better..." she mumbled to steve and stepped back. in fact, she could feel him coming now. she opened her mouth to explain it to them, but just turned and moved off the trampolines onto the floor, rubbing her temples with her fingers.

steve: "don't say that." steve called after rey as jumped off the trampoline. he looked at thor before following after her. surely this snoke guy could be stopped. they've dealt with aliens before, what made this one so different? "what can we do to help?"
steve joined the chat 43 hours ago
thor: the mention of snoke nearly drew a low growl from thor's throat. the idea of an unseen opponent harming someone like rey right beside him while he was powerless to do anything to stop it was beyond upsetting, to say the least. "there must be a way to track him," thor added as he trailed after steve, worried gaze on rey's back. "if i know where he is, i can put a stop to this. even if he has armies, they will not stop me."
rey rey buried her face in her hands now and sniffed, trying to push him out of her mind as much as possible. but it wasn't necessarily simple. at the first small pain, she winced and jumped slightly, hands dropping to her mouth. "no, no, no, no..." she murmured under her breath as she began to tremble, pleading for him to leave her mind. then there was another, sharper pain and rey tucked her knees to her chest, beginning to rock back and forth.
steve: steve dove to his knees as soon as rey fell. "hey, hey," he cooed, wrapping his arms around his shoulders. he knew whatever she was feeling or seeing was much like what they went through when wanda brainwashed them. if not worse. he felt a intense need to protect his best friend. "it's gonna be okay, rey. i love you. stay with us," he cooed, rubbing her back as his heart hammered in his chest.
thor: it appeared steve and rey were even closer than thor originally suspected. the revelation did little to ease the tension in his muscles as he began circling restlessly around the pair, hands curling into fists as he itched to summon his prized weapon and smash something, anything. "we must help her," he finally said, stopping to glare at steve. "there must be a way. think of something."
rey rey clasped her hands over her ears and began to cry as she buried her face in his chest, but managed to murmur, "i-i love y-you too..." through her sobs. just so he knew how appreciative she really was of his kind, caring heart. her hands moved about until they landed on thor's chest, curling her fingers into his shirt and holding it tightly, tugging him closer. another sharp pain caused her to shriek and weep even harder, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
steve: "you're the one from space." steve gritted his teeth, trying to focus on the girl falling apart before him. she was in excruciating pain by the looks of it, and it killed him not being able to stop it. "rey, listen to me. is there anything we can do? what makes it hurt less?" the usual put together soldier was now stumbling over his words in an attempt to help his friend.
thor: thor allowed himself to be pulled closer, teeth grinding together as he fought to keep his rage against an invisible foe in check. his temper wouldn't help, especially not when the likes of even steve rogers was losing his cool. "i could take her to asgard," he said slowly. "our healers may lessen her pain while we search for answers." assuming everyone on asgard cooperated and sought to help her as much as he did.
rey "d-derek..." was the first thing rey choked out. he usually helped her after a snoke episode. by... doing exactly what steve and thor were doing now. holding her. talking to her. maybe things would be okay. she squeezed her eyes shut and tried to focus on clearing her mind, like anakin and ben taught her, attempting to push out all thoughts of anything dark. instead she focused on memories of derek. of ben, of steve, of thor, everyone. and slowly, gradually, she calmed down, eyes finally fluttering open. he was leaving. he was smart enough to pick his battles, rey was sure, and probably couldn't fight this one.
thor joined the chat 41 hours ago
steve joined the chat 41 hours ago
steve: steve's jaw clenched at the mention of derek, but he quickly shook his rage off to focus on rey. her body noticeably let up moments later. he retracted his arms once he knew she was alright. "how often does this happen?"
thor: the unfamiliar name made thor frown, glancing at steve for answers – only to find an odd expression awaiting on the man's face for a split second. dislike? mentally tucking it away, he refocused on rey. where steve moved back, the asgardian leaned forward, slipping his arms beneath rey and lifting her effortlessly into his arms. steve already asked the question on his mind, so he remained quiet, merely looking down at her with expectance.
rey rey's arms slid easily around thor's neck, noticing how he didn't even flinch when lifting her small body. she really was curious to know how strong they both were. "it's-it's been happening more often than not lately..." she admitted in a whisper, rubbing at her eyes with her fists then returning her arms around thor's neck as she looked into steve's eyes. "i-i'm okay, though... please don't tell derek, i don't want him to worry. please."
steve: "do you know how to get to this snoke person?" his tone was firm and assertive, much like the one he reserved for the avengers. he ignored her question about derek and continued with the questions. "can your family help you at all?"
steve: "do you know how to get to this snoke person?" his tone was firm and assertive, much like the one he reserved for the avengers. he ignored her question about derek and continued with the questions. "can your family help you at all?"
thor: there was that name again. derek. thor's eyes narrowed in annoyance over not knowing yet another piece of information in the rapidly developing mystery of rey. at least the captain was back in action, a small silver lining. "if she knew where snoke was or if her family could help, i'd wager she would have already said as much by now." looking back and forth between the pair, he added, "who is this 'derek'?"
rey "/no/," rey snapped in frustration, mostly at herself for not being able to rid of the sith lord. "just-just forget it, he's gone now..." she mumbled, then closed her eyes again at the mention of derek. now she really missed him. she took a few deep breaths to keep the tears from filling her eyes, then rose to her feet shakily, one hand still in thor's, and the other in steve's. "i-i don't wanna dwell on snoke anymore... not tonight... please? i need a break...'
steve: "her boyfriend." steve answered curtly as rey let out her frustration. he couldn't understand how she could try to move on from something like that. his grip on her palm was loose. "what do you want to do?" he looked around, mentally checking off everything they had done. ball pit, check. playground, check. laser tag, check. trampoline, check. "i saw a game room near the front?"
thor: for a long moment, thor didn't move, only staring hard at the captain. if derek was rey's lover, why was steve so visibly displeased by the very mention of him? thor had only ever seen one reason for that type of behavior. as a fresh understanding dawned, thor wordlessly tightened his grasp of rey's hand and began leading her in the direction of the game room. when they arrived, he stepped passed several brightly colored loud machines until one in particular caught his eye. "captain america and the avengers?" he read aloud, amused in spite of himself.
rey "yeah, can we do that?" rey whispered as she took out her pigtails, trying to let the smile appear on her face again, though it was still shaky for now. she let go of steve's hand, knowing the reason behind his sudden closure, and instead held thor's with both of her own, stumbling along behind him. "whoa..." she whispered in amazement at all the machines, her eyes widening. once at the machine thor stopped it, she began giggling and moved to sit down on the floor in front of the game, knowing from experience to not be on her feet for too long after a snoke episode.
steve: "sounds about right." steve laughed under his breath, leaning against the side of the arcade game. he stared at the giant, cartoon version of himself for a few beats before moving around again. he wandered off toward a skeeball machine where he grabbed one of the basketballs. the avenger stood there, absentmindedly dribbling the basketball. the first time he shot, it went in effortlessly even though he hardly paying attention.

"if not, you must let go of her, friend. this pining is not easy to watch."

rey rey looked up hesitantly as steve handed her the tickets, collecting them all into her arms and rising to her feet slowly. she didn't move immediately, but at thor's gentle persistence, she finally made her way to the counter, oblivious as to why they sent her away. she was too excited about her prizes. the worker there, the only one left, seemed less than thrilled about accepting the tickets, and told her to pick out three things. she looked over her shoulder at steve and thor, seeing them still talking, then glanced at the shelves to pick her prizes.
steve: steve scowled at thor's proposal. he wasn't entirely subtle about his dislike for derek, but he didn't think it was that obvious. "i'm not fighting derek." his gaze followed rey, who was eagerly awaiting her prizes. "i'll get over it. i always do." he shook his head, eyes falling down to his fidgeting fingers. it was a total lie. he wasn't even over peggy yet — and that was seventy years ago. he couldn't even close his eyes at night without thinking of her or bucky.
thor joined the chat 5 hours ago
thor: "no, you will not." thor knew an overly-attached lovestruck fool when he saw one. he himself had been on the opposite end of that sort of infatuation more than once, in fact. "these things do not simply fade away. they grow stronger, along with resentment, until you find yourself saying something you will regret." throwing rey a glance, he then dropped a hand on steve's shoulder, squeezing more tightly than truly necessary. "do not destroy your friendship with her. take some time away, if you must –– but let go of this before it harms both of you." thor released him and, without awaiting a response, strode over to join rey.
rey "thank you," rey gasped as the worker handed her her three items, hugging them close to her chest. then she turned towards her friends as thor made his way over to her, showing them the three bears she'd picked out. ( http://www.buildabear.com/ProductImages/... , http://www.buildabear.com/public/images/... , http://www.buildabear.com/ProductImages/... ) "aren't they so cute?" she giggled then moved to steve, wrapping her arms around him the best she could with her new toys. "thank you so much, steve."
steve: the crease between steve's brows tightened following his words. he knew thor was right, but the thought of distancing himself from the girl brought a sharp pain to his chest. he knew he would have to get over his schoolboy crush or else it'd cause damage. the soldier managed to muster a smile at rey as she approached. the stuffed animals tucked under her arm were cute, indeed. the cap and thor bears coaxed a laugh out of him. there was another one that strangely resembled darth vader. "you're welcome." his voice was distant, but the smile gracing his lips still remained. "where to now?"

thor: thor cast a disapproving eye at rey as she embraced steve, but resigned himself to trusting that the captain would take his advice and move on. if not, thor would do his best to help pick up the pieces when things made a turn for the worse. "is this supposed to be me?" he took hold of his lookalike bear's paw, feeling the soft plushness of it. "hm. we should get ice cream." his eyes met rey's with a wink. in his experience, mortals loved their ice cream.

"yes, yes, yes!" she begged, and didn't even wait for an answer before moving to the exit, but not before scooping up her captain america figurine that steve gave her, and holding it with her three teddy bears. "c'mon, you two are so slow!"

Alice and Roberta
“FIVE, FOAR, TREE, TWOO, ONE, right, ready or not Alice here I come!” Jock bellows out his count down in his thick Scottish accent and twisted away from the paperbark tree, tearing a silky piece of it with him in his slow turn.
Alice snickered as she lowered herself into the red rubbish bin, the hilariousness of her actions masked the stench of waste arising from her hiding spot. The bright summer morning sun shone down onto the fire engine red lid, she watched her legs and dirty white sneakers turn pink when she exposed them to the sunlight from darkness.
It was a Jock’s day, the day designated to Alice and her grandfather. The day begins at the park, where Jock plonks his tired, muscular, body onto the park bench and watches his wild girl tear through the play equipment, her athleticism was put to show as she played in the dirt with the boys, swung on the monkey bars and went down the slide backwards. Alice intimidated the grandparents of the other little girls, making them pull up their frilled white socks and adjust their bows.
“Al? Where are ya love?” Jock ducked his head out of his grand-daughter’s usual hiding nook between the gumtree and steel slide. It was lunch time and the park was beginning to empty out as the afternoon breeze rolled in. Jock waddled over to the bench by the rose garden, needing to stretch his tired welders legs out in the sunlight. As he staggered ready to lower his wide body down onto his seat, Jock noticed Alice’s snickers were emanating from her allusive location. With a smirk having come to the conclusion that he had already won, he let his body marinate in the sun.
The birds were laughing at Alice as she hummed to herself and kicked around the plastic remanets at her feet. The dark walls of the bin were covered in creamy coffee stains and sticky soda residue. The four-year-old body turned the cubed fast food boxes into rectangles with her bottom and Alice gripped her tummy, letting he pinkie finger wiggle into her belly button to hush the grumbles. The puffy white clouds that hung in the sky earlier sunk into the sun, removing the intrigue and warmth from her hiding spot. Her will to win diminished at a rapid pace and the prominence of her loneliness was protruding. Like a meerkat emerging from their burrow Alice arose slowly, observing her surroundings.
“Jocck, why didn’t ya find me?” Alice wailed, waking up her grandfather from his snooze.
“Because ya shouldn’t be hiding in places that you shouldn’t be found in” Jock grumbled as he picked himself off the bench with a groan. “Did ya really think this was a good idea darl” Jock followed with a toothy chuckle as he lifted up the chubby girl.
~~~
“RUN AL RUN, TAKE EM ON AND DON’T STOP GOIN” Jock screamed from the park bench sitting in corner of the soccer field hidden in shade and waving his home-made beige brown walking stick in the air. He wasn’t allowed to sit in the crowd of parents at ten-year old Alice’s soccer games anymore, people were getting offended when they managed to translate what’s coming out of the Scotsman’s mouth whilst he was personally commentating the game. Most of his so called ‘corrections’ were toward his own grand-daughter but the unfortunate part was that Alice wasn’t the only person with that name on the team.
Alice as red as the jersey she was wearing, came running up to her Grandfather with a wide, proud grin.
“Why ya got that look on your face hey?” Jock shouted as Alice came running towards him.
“Cause’ I scored three goals and assisted two, didn’t ya see?” She responded, sticking her tongue out of the gaps of her teeth cheekily in response, smiling even wider.
“Eh, was alright, I told ya tho, to get that right cross keep running it to the by-line, then ya bring it in!”
“I thought I did that! Where’s my five bucks though Roberta, I got the hatrick!” Alice teased. Jock’s official name is Robert but the nickname attached to his nation glued to him when he migrated over to Australia fifty years ago.
“I said to get the five bucks ya would have had to get three assists” Jock cackled.
~~
With the foreign sense of pride inhabiting her body Alice focused her eyes to her phone screen as she pressed the call button on her phone. Hoping that her grandparents would answer, she twirled her blonde hair at each chime of the phone.
“Hallo?” Jock answered, his voice softer to what Alice remembered.
“Heya Roberta” Alice hoarsely responded, immediately cleaning her throat afterwards. “Got something to tell ya” Alice continued slowly, waiting to unload her excitement till after she told him. “I won defensive player of the league Roberta” she said with a gulp, swallowing down the lump arising from her throat. She lay flat on her back, the darkness of the room provided a blank canvas for her to envision his bushy white eyebrows lifting like a caterpillar crawling to the news.
Jock let the distance between the two filter his response, which only decided to flood his tired grey eyes. “Ya did what?!” he replied, his voice crackling along with the phone line.
“All the coaches at the meeting to decide the award said that the girls on their teams knew if I was coming in for the tackle, they were going to lose the ball” Alice gushed out quickly. “Scary number eight they said” She followed with nervous laughter.
They exhaled together on the open phone line, listening to their breaths hit each other’s ears.

@guard-kotonoe
“I absolutely adore animals in general.” Kotonoe said with a grin of excitement.“and now I get to go tell my friend that I’ve finally seen him. Ya know, before he pulls me around the building looking for him again.” She said with a chuckle, the memory of when he did that amusing her.
Kotonoe closed her eyes and bit her lip, holding back a chuckle at the thought. “I feel kinda bad for him,” she admitted as she scratched her neck again. “But in sure I may have found it kind of amusing too, had I seen it.” She added, a jovial smile on her lips. “I guess he was pretty relieved to have seen the mystery kitty again though when he was in here. I would have.”
Kotonoe thought of the scene for a moment, a smirk on her lips. “Actually, I may have been a smartass about it and gone ‘what cat?’” as I pet him. “… Yeah, that probably would have been my reaction to it.” She confirmed with a grin. “May have just curled up and cuddled the little fluff ball. Guard or not.” She added as she came back from her thoughts. She looked over to Mitsuru with a playful gaze and spoke “let’s face it, it would be well worth it.” she stood still for a moment before leaning down and petting Kuu again quickly, a small and content smile on her face, one that was easily visible.
“If you say so~” she cooed in a teasing voice. “It is pretty great though. How you are.” She mentioned, quick to explain her point simply. She stuck her tongue out at him again quickly as she pulled her hand away and slipped it into her pocket, forcing aside the jacket of her uniform. Suddenly she thought of something and grinned widely. “And before I forget, you’re not the only one with a tattoo~” this time she wasn’t referring to the markings on her wrist it ankles, not even the ones in her neck. But an actual tattoo she had drawn up to get. “But you’ll have to figure it out for yourself. Which shouldn’t be too hard, since the hint I’ll give you is a lot of people call me that.” She said, a grin growing mischievously wider. “And you can feel how you want about it. I’ll probably not let anyone else do that. Not unless they wanna learning to do everything without their dominant hand.” She said, a slight serious tone lacing her words. She really didn’t plan to let anyone else do that. Not without sparring her for it first. And she was pretty good at holding her own, she was sure of that…. Well, even then she wouldn’t let them. “She feel a little jealous if you want, I certainly won’t mind. They’ll get flipped soon after anyways. Either flipped off or over my shoulder, that is.” She said, going off on a small spiel. Her words were quickly followed by leaning against the door of his office, or rather the doorframe. One leg kicked over the other and her head tilted. “You used a line from a video game? I absolutely swooning?” She joked, adding her own layer of acting to make it sarcastically overdramatic. Though, she could help the small blush that appeared because of it. It was still cute to her regardless. Kotonoe caught him messing with the ring again and shook her head. He seemed to do that a lot, not to say she minded. “if you’re not careful you may bite it.” She joked light-heartedly. “Or someone else will~” she added in a low and teasing tone, trying her best to make it sound tempting without dying in a fit of laughter or flusteredness from her own actions. Though that was her reaction to him saying it was dumb- as she certainly disagreed with the statement- she pulled a small hand mirror from her pocket and handed it over. “Careful, you may get dusted with makeup when you open it.” She warned. Honestly, it was almost untouched except for when she went to building 3 or for very, very special occasions. She smiled through her embarrassment when he said he’d try. Though the moment he poked her stomach the guard desperately tried to stifle a giggle. Of course she covered it up with a small and drawn out ‘no.’ the last thing she needed was people figuring out she was ticklish on her stomach, because they went for her sides next which would earn her 'attacker’ a very different reaction in return. Sue stepped forward though which a chuckle, hoping she had hidden it well enough. “Well then, I guess we should go eat.” She said before adding on. “And I’m still paying too~” was all she could manage as she walked into the hallway. “I think everything about me is just really vocal though.” She admitted with a shrug as she turned to him. She shook her head and glanced back down the hallway. “You’re paying for cat treats yourself though.” She said as she swayed back and fourth on her feet. “I’ll pay for everything except your shopping list. So I’ll pay for your food.” She said, narrowing the list down. “ You have to spend some money.” She chirped with a laugh as she turned her back, ready to start walking down the hallway again. Already she could hear the food court calling her name. Sushi and coffee flavored milkshakes await. Caught off guard though she let out a short shriek. “Mitsuru.” She yelled in surprise, wrapping her arms back around his neck. She hadn’t actually expected him to do so and with a twinge of embarrassment she lowered her hat over her face, cheeks flushed to her ears and a small grin on her features. It wasn't that bad really. She tipped back the brim of her hat to look at him with hooded eyes. Even if her blush was visible it would only be for a short time before she went back to hiding. “We’ll have fun trying to explain why you’re carrying a flattered building 2 guard around.” She mumbled, tone playful but embarrassed. When she moved her hat back over her face though in a rather futile attempt to hide what kind of state she was in, she rested her head back against him. “At least I don’t have to walk there myself.” She mumbled against him as she grinned. Wiggling a moment before becoming content with how she was.
Mitsuru hold her close, enjoying the look on her face a lot. It was just too cute he thought as he walked down the hallway.
“I love animals as well, but Kuu is my favorite~ But when I would own a cat myself, maybe I would think different. Or a dog. Dogs are great too~ Or something small”, he was going on and on until he stopped himself with a grin. “I’m sorry, I could talk about animals for hours, you know?”
He chuckled a little. „Seitarou was more than relieved to see Kuu. He really thought he was done for. And well, I can't hardly imagine how Hajime would react if Kuu really disappears. He'd be worried, I bet. Like.. really worried.“
When Kotonoe explained what her reaction would have been, he grinned even wider. „That's good! I should have done that! Why don't I think about such genius things?“
He talked more quiet this time, didn't want to cause her ears any harm because she was so close to him. He knew what impact his voice had.
The broadcaster listened to her when she told him about her tattoo and his smile got wider. „I love women with tattoos“, he admitted. „And by what you say I would guess it's a hummingbird, am I right?“
He wasn't lying here. He really liked women with tattoos, piercings, colorful hair. Everything that made them special.
He had enough of the ordinary girls in his school. Most of them were arrogant, selfish and always messing with him because he was different. But he got to knew a few girls that were special (Not in the way that he had feelings for them tho) and they were much nicer to him then everyone else.
In his mind he tried to imagine where that tattoo might be and he almost didn't hear her next sentences over his thoughts which caused a rather confused look on his face for a moment.
„I... think I just spaced out...“, he admitted shyly and embarrassed. That hadn't happen to him in a long time till now and sometimes he asked himself what causes that. Was he too focused on his own thoughts so he didn't hear when someone was talking to him?
He felt like he was really rude right now and added „I'm sorry about that..“
When she reacted to him using a video game quote, he actually blushed a little. „What can I say, I'm a nerd“, he said with a grins. „And I swear, If I wasn't carrying you, I would now kneel down and kiss your hand for apologize, my princess~“, again his voice was over dramatic and teasing, even though, to be honest, they both knew he absolutely would have done that.
When she caught him playing around with the piercing, he just shrugged as good as he could with her on his arms. „I'll never learn. Once I swallowed a piece of my piercing when I was messing with it. I learned nothing from it. Also I once bit my tongue ring when it was new. That was unpleasant. It was bleeding and I only could eat ice cubes the whole day. Also, the next day I was forced to eat something spicy... I regretted the piercing a little. But just a little.“
„And wait... who else should bite my piecing.... except when someone is planing on messing with me while kissing.“ The same moment he said it, he was blushing a little more. Even if it sounded kinda odd, the thought was exciting for him. He was rather sensitive at the spots where he was pierced in general.
The black haired man carefully took the hand mirror, what wasn't too easy since he already was carrying Kotonoe and he did his best not to drop her or the mirror. He managed to open it looked at it but when he figured out how red he was, he absolutely forgot why he actually wanted to take a look at the mirror.
„Oh my god...“, he mumbled flustered and laughed. „I look like a cherry~“ He carefully let her take the mirror back.
Sadly, he missed the opportunity to find out how easy it was to tickle her, but he took a mental note that she was indeed reacting to the poking. Maybe he'd come back to it later.
He almost reached the security check at the entrance of the headquarter as he let her down again. It would be too strange to walk through the security systems like this. And he would like to avoided even more attention from the security officers than he already got every damn time he had to go through the systems. As if they wouldn't know by now what was about to happen. But rules were rules and these guys were just doing their jobs.
„I hate it...“, he mumbled while opening the belt he was wearing over the coat he was wearing. „Every time I'm passing that damn security gate it reacts. One of the piercings seems to be pure metal but I couldn't figure out which one it is so far...“
He was prepared for another discussion with the security officer today.
While he was taking off his watch as well, he looked over to Kotonoe. „I never expected you to pay for my shopping list“, he laughed. „I wouldn't want that to be honest.“
His uniform looked a little strange without the belt and after he also removed his hat and the headphones he was wearing around his neck, it seemed like a completely different person was standing in front of Kotonoe.
„Please don't mention how strange I look... I once looked in a mirror like this and... it was a shock.“ He was being over dramatic again, it was obvious but still, he felt incomplete without the features he just removed.
#I just can't imagine Mitsuru without the belt and the headphones xD#Must look so funny xD#Also the security system error happened with me as well#I still don't know what piercing it was that caused it#because there was nothing else that could have caused it#But well#And soon the bbys can get their food#Now I want sushi again xD#Maybe I should get some when I have a day off again#reply#Nanbas-Noise-Problem#guard-kotonoe

Three weeks in!
aye, we’re three weeks into learning how to do things! i’ve logged about 15-20 hours into development in a couple of areas this week. I usually don’t “clock in” while i’m working in blender which is where the exact hour count gets a bit muddy. So last week I was working on setting up a simple gather 5 pickups kind of game and I did a little bit of work on that this week as well. I switched over from using a Rigidbody to using a CharacterController which is having a weird result. My Rigidbody kept doing weird things where it would meet the tiniest difference in elevation and it would launch itself like 50ft in the air. Admittedly, I spent a good while goofing around with this because it was cracking me up and even donated like 5 minutes into setting up a ragdoll effect until I realized I didn’t have all of the necessary bones in my rig. Anyways, switching over to the CharacterController solved my rocketeer issues and the movement is really nice. It definitely clips thru objects more than a Rigidbody did but a lot of that is due to the weird character I made coupled with a sliiiiightly smaller box collider. I honestly like the movement I’m getting with the CharacterController more than anything i’ve had so far. Gravity seems to be a lot more normal than I ever could get after normalizing my movement and a Rigidbody. That may be because I haven’t normalized my movement on this yet, meaning I still move faster on diagonals than I do on the vertical and horizontal planes. Back to the work though, I’ve added the 5 pickup items into the map and that was really fun. I used a 3D sphere and added some particle effects to it to make it a little more obvious and placed them around me 3 tiered little map. Then I added a bit to my script so that the “game” keeps track of your pickup count in the background and once you have collected all 5, a sweet glowing cube appears in the middle of the top tier. When you collide with the glowing sphere, the level just resets. It’s no ground breaking reinvention of the wheel or anything, but it works... mostly. I’m getting a weird issue where when I press play, my character starts off horizontal now? I’ve not seen this before and i’m sure there is a simple fix, but as soon as you hit the movement keys he fixes himself and moves normally.
I think my goal at the end of last week was to get to that point and create a menu that would launch the game. Instead, I had this idea for a really really really basic side scrolling level that I wanted to pursue. It was basically a 2D game made with 3D planes and emitters in blender that made up a facade of buildings with windows cut out. the buildings themselves were all a dark charcoal gray and then I had different colored emitters behind each building so that the light came thru the windows. I had 7 different buildings in total that i copy pasted along three different rows. Between all the rows, I threw in a large plane with a transparent material set to 50% black. The end result is this really awesome sense of depth even tho the rows are quite close to each other. The 2nd and 3rd rows I raised on the Y axis in Unity and it makes it look like this amazing sprawling city. Unfortunately, my Macbook Pro that I’ve been doing all of this on is having NONE of that game. I added a cube and a simplified horizontal movement script and I get a sweet like 5 frames a second. Unity will barely stay open if I have everything set active. I tried building it out with only one row of the buildings and I barely saw any improvement. Since every building has its own emitter, I’m sure there are a lot of options to make the game more efficient. I could probably disable shadows on the 2nd and 3rd row and also turn down the intensity of the emitters on them... but I think the best option would be to disable all objects until they are in front of the camera. Downside to that, it’s wayyy beyond my ability at this point. The level background is really cool and it came together really quickly. More news of progress though! I did manage to setup a simple one button menu screen where the button changes color when you hover over it and launches the game when you click on it. With that little bit, this weeks goals were accomplished! Little victories!
Looking to next week, I’ll probably be focusing on the game that my computer can actually handle. My goal is to have 2 more levels designed and at least one of the two built and playable. I’d like to have each level require a different number of pickups to advance which will require I learn how to code that differently than I have it set up right now. Beyond that, I’m thinking about looking for another blog site. I really want to be including pics and snips of code in these updates, but it seems that tumblr makes you chose between text or images. I’ll do some snooping around on google and see if I can find any other good alternatives. Until then, have a great week and learn something new!

Planes is a mancala-inspired game by the extremely talented David Short (we're both big fans!), published by Alderac Entertainment Group. It's one of thier "Destination Fun" trilogy of games along with "Trains" and "Automobiles" You and up to three other players are moving your party of five cubes around the airport, trying to get everyone onto the right plane and earn yourself victory points. Like real airports, you don’t start out near your gate and must navigate around other (annoying) travelers who are mucking up the corridors. In fact, if too many of them stop at a particular time (picture everyone standing there looking at the Departures board), a blockage happens and a cute little orange traffic cone halts all traffic temporarily. But, this airport is a modern, interesting airport, with dining experiences and gift shops, and you might also gain points by having your party members “visit” those locations before they jet off.
Leaving on a jet plane...
How we came to play this game:
Susan was given this game by her AMNH board game collaborator, Barry Joseph, who snagged a couple of copies at the NY Toy Fair back in 2015.
This reminds us of:
Susan: Because of the main mancala mechanic, I guess you could say “Five Tribes,” but it’s a rather unique game with how it blends that movement mechanic with goal achievement simultaneously.
Mike: Yeah obviously it’s gonna give Five Tribes vibes BUT it also reminds me of a favorite aspect of "Tiny Epic Westerns" and Susan’s own "Gutsy" where key strategic moves can be made by sacrificing one benefit printed on a card for a benefit of another kind that is also represented on the same card. This positive take on a “Morton’s Fork” mechanic is gaining popularity in board game design lately, and I’m fan!
Game art:
Susan: It’s classic AEG - simple, yet effective. This game has a bunch of symbols and the starter side of the board has some blank spaces - I feel like these could have been used to provide some legends. The player aids, which look like old-fashioned boarding passes (remember those? Before we had barcodes on our phones?) are very snazzy.
Mike: The airport layout is inspired. It’s very cool thing to have built the game UI around and I dig the story it tells. It’s not incredibly detailed, it's functional, utilitarian even, but it gets the job done.
Snazzy!
Just get me to the gate!
Best part:
Susan: I really like the way that players have to make strategic choices between using the cards as either, actions - to help them adjust their movement to their advantage - or to save them to use them as goals to score victory points. And I also really like the mechanic of having to balance out also moving the neutral cubes to try to get yourself more of those cards.
Mike: Oh, I didn’t see that you mentioned this in my first read-through of your comments! Whoops! Oh well, as I have mentioned above I am also a fan of this but I get the most satisfaction in moving opponents pieces out of optimal boarding spaces. Soooo satisfying! Getting to move opponent’s pieces is something that’s not built in nearly enough to game design!
Worst part:
Susan: I have no idea why the game includes so many traffic cones and I think the design is a little bland.
Mike: I’ve always kind of felt this game missed an opportunity to have “plane meeples”, allowing me to fly around the board making jet sounds as I do it!! (This is a key point of fun in AEG’s Automobiles with the cars!) I mean the game is called PLANES after all!!
I don't know, maybe they shoulda called it...
youtube
Mistakes we made:
Susan: I’m pretty sure that the first time that we played, we didn’t quite get that if we were playing as red and blue, for example, that the other two colors were acting as neutral and so still needed to be moved and could be boarded onto their planes to get to draw cards.
Mike: We may have played 3 times before we realized that you MUST have one of your own cubes in hand when you pick up at a gate! And if I’m being honest, it happens still at least once or twice a game (tho now we always catch it)
Play again?
Susan: Absolutely. We got this game a while ago and just pulled it out again to show Susan’s fiancé. He picked it up pretty quickly and it was a good way to show someone how a mancala-based game works. It’s relatively quick. I think this will be a staple for years to come
Mike: Well I guess Susan broke some news there! Yep, she’s off the market everybody! Our Susan’s getting hitched! Congrats Matt and Susan! (It’s still just TWO Damn Board though, but he can play with us every so often!).
That damn rock better not scratch any game boards!
#BoardGameHaiku
Now boarding zone 1
Where’s the rest of my party?
Stopped by an orange cone!
Times played: More than 10 less than 100
Game record – I mean, I’m not exactly keeping score but there is a rule of thumb that’s safe to bank on if you’re in any doubt:

Outta the mouths of babes!
Is dope!
So go buy one here:
