#THANK YOU ZAZZ

[handfulofmuses]

Does your muse like music? Is there any genre they prefer? Do they sing or play any instrument? ( for any and as many muses as youd like )

Zazz listens mostly to rock and roll - although most of what he listens to can hardly be considered music as most of it is just screaming. He likes songs that are about murder. Zazz himself owns a guitar that he keeps rocking out on - he used to have drums but he smashed them so hard while playing he destroyed them.

James likes anything that Mr. Grasshopper plays on the violin as long as it is uplifting. If the music becomes more sad, he will get sad too. He sometimes plays soothing sounds before bed and it helps him sleep better. Mr. Grasshopper also teaches him how to play the violin or various other instruments.

HIII mutual you are actually so cool n im soo glad we r moots :3

zazz i have no idea how you managed to time this so perfectly this made my day. im so so glad we're moots uoure so awesome actually. ily /p

[wonder-never-wander]

hiii i didnt know which questions from the ask game u r comfy with answering so i just chose a lot haha, ofc don't answer any u don't wanna !!

🍄, ☕, 💾, 🎵, 🎮, 🪐, 🍐, ☘️

hello! honestly i didn't expect any asks so i will answer all of them :)

🍄 - how did you get your system name?

we don't have a system name yet! i've been trying to figure one out but the search is slow going. if anyone has any ideas i am all ears

☕ - what is switching like for you?

i'm not sure if i can accurately describe it. it's kind of like a pressure in the front of my head and then suddenly it's a few hours later? there's not much discrepancy in memories but sometimes it takes a while for them to come back. idk if that makes any sense

💾 - what's your headcount?

last count it was 3 ! (not including dormant headmates)

🎵 - what songs remind you of your alters/headmates?

the bluey theme song for cas (cause he's always watching bluey in front) and kids by current joys for grace

🎮 - what do your alters/headmates do in their free time?

cas really likes to color! he draws and stuff too but mostly he colors

idk about grace? to be honest most of the memories i have of her is just her going through my stuff. she's a snooper and i love that for her

🪐 - what is headspace like for you?

we don't really have a headspace/inner world. it's really just a white void with a wooden door. when you're on one side of the door you're fronting (The Front) and when you're on the other side you aren't (The Void)

🍐 - are there any non-human alters/headmates?

yes! cas is a ghost :)

☘️ - what are your introjects/fictives usually sourced from?

my spinterests 🥲 there was a kara danvers fictive, a katie mcgrath factive, and a toddler aged lena luthor from a fanfiction at one point. they're all dormant now but it was fun. now there's a grace chasity in the ol' dome

"The savior of the downtrodden, the righter of wrongs, the icon of hope for humanity. What a dumb-ass!"

Hello readers! Thanks to everyone who's read this far. the scripts for Chapters 1 and 2 are complete but it's still gonna take me some time to finish the art. As some of you may know I completed all of the prologue pages before deciding to publish them, but doing so for the full chapters would take such a long time, I'll probably settle for realising things in batches. All this is to say that you probably won't be seeing Chapter 1 for a long while yet, but please feel free to visit me on my Tumblr where I'll be happy to answer asks about this project in the meantime.

Special thanks to my friends @zazz-ie and @19orionis for being beta-reading; to everyone in the Red Rock Canyon discord server (especially @media-illiterate and @guillotinedrop!) for listening to my rambles; and to @sleights-of-hand for teaching me to use comicfury and giving me the inspiration and confidence to make my own comic! (please go and read his comic if you haven't already it's amazing)

[beevean]

So I was listening to Isaac voice clips, because I'm studying his speech, and I couldn't figure out why his voice sounded so familiar. Only to realize, Liam O'Brien also voices War in Darksiders!! They have the same inflection in their voices! Just Isaac's is higher pitched than War's (though not by much)

Liam O'Brien is like parsley: you find him everywhere 😂

Special shout out to me who spent years simping for Infinite's suspiciously horny voice.

Thankfully to me, the two don't sound too alike, but when they do, like at 2:32 and 6:46, it glitches my brain 😭

(he also voiced Zazz. Again, not very similar to Infinite and Isaac. But man, he sure gets the best lines.)

Yeah, if I didn't know who voiced War, "Has prison made you a coward?" would have been a dead giveaway. He has an impressive range, but generally he tilts his tone consistently.

Not only I'm posting this here to make you feel old with the date :) but it boggles my mind that Liam O'Brien's natural voice sounds nothing like the roles he usually takes. bro has vocal chords of putty.

anyway he's the goat. every character he voices is an instant 10/10. thank you for your service man

[paintpaw]

got tagged for WIP weekend by @daggertongue !! thank you so much

wrestling with designs for Sun and his horse, Sun's actually almost done its just his yet-unnamed horse that needs work :') she might end up being an appaloosa

[lalacliffthorne]

Dude, I discovered Starshine while you were away and was so devastated that it wasn’t finished! Don’t take this as me pressuring you, I just wanted to let you know that I’m super excited for what’s coming next and I’m so zazzed you’re back!

I think I came across it a week or two after your break and over the last few months it’s lived in my head rent free! I constantly come back to it when I’m in a Rhys mood. Not only is your writing just beautiful, but the way you’ve written him specifically always has me squealing and kicking my feet! I’m such a sucker for a soft, simpy bat!! 🖤🖤🖤

aw, hi babes!! 💕 no it's okay, I get it, I was gone for quite a while 🥴 and I'm really excited too!! so glad to be back 💞

🥹 dude this is so sweet 😭🙈 I love that you love it?? and Rhys has my heart so -- thank you so much, starshine is truly my baby 🦇

[claudia-nomusaabara]

@coyoxxtl

Thank you so much for working with me on this new MTL oc and a new idea for Rockso instead of the...questionable direction for Rockso's story.

This is Rosalie as she looked in the 80s when she first met Rockso in Dallas, Texas, as a Zazz fan. Rockso and her had a passionate extramarital affair with them for a year before her husband found them in a hotel room with a brick of Rockso's cocaine.

She was born and raised in Philidelphia in a working-class family with an older brother until she was married to Burt who moved them down to Dallas, Texas.

I'm still stuck on her last surname being either Lamb or Lane but I might have a solution sooner than later.

[wetwaluigi]

HI HELLLOOOOO!!!!!! IT IS YOU!!! THE LOCAL ZETI EXPERT OF TUMBLR!!!!!! That’s how I see you anyway!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day/night!!

Sooooo…I have a question for you!!

I…also just wanted to send you an ask- I never saw anyone who goes so in depth about the zetis!! I HAVE TO INTERACT AS A FELLOW ZETI LOVER!!! :D

I hope you have a wonderful day/night cuz you deserve itttt!!!!!!!!!!!

HI HELLO I AM HONORED HMM i havent given much thought to this trio in particular- but to me pairing zor with the two people who are most likely to tease him seems like a good time (attached image of zazz and zeena trying to get him to bungee jump for your viewing pleasure)

thank you for the question!! im always happy to meet a fellow zeti enjoyer since im here (sorry for the mention grim) i recommend you check out my good friend @grimsdeadb0nes, they are quite the zeti expert as well, plus they've been here much longer than i have

Mini Fanfic #1240: Familiar, Unwelcoming Faces.....(Sonic Series)

It was calm, peaceful afternoon outside of the Chaotix Family's Household as Espio Chamelon is finishing up his daily meditation sessions under the shade of the tree in the front yard. It always been a good method to help maintain and clear his mind over the years. So much so that it got him to thinking how his life would turn out if his master never recommended the idea to him growing up. (That's definitely one of the few things he needs to remember thanking him for if they ever do reunion again one of these days.)

As he gets himself up from his usual sitting spot, Espio was about to walk back in the house until he suddenly stops right at his track and senses something.....off in his surroundings. Like someone has been hiding, watching, and calculating his every movement this entire movement since he first came out here. The suspicion was more than enough for him to walk over to the side of the house instead for answers.

A few more seconds has pass and he was almost this close into shrugging it off and carry on his merry until a familiar munching and crunching starts ringing into his ears, causing the ninja to let out a sigh in the process.

Espio: I know one of you is hiding out here. Come out.

?????: Ah man. ('Munching').....How did you know we would be here?

????: 'Cuz you were- (Kicks his Teammate Out of the Bushes The Two Were Hiding From) EATING the whole time, fatty!

'Thud'

?????: (Winces his Pain as He Rubs his Kicked Butt) Owwwww! You kick too hard, Zazz.....

Zazz: Quit blowin' our cover abd maybe I won't hafta to kick your fat hide all!

Espio: (Rolls his Eyes) Still as rowdy as ever, eh Zazz?

Zazz: (Angrily Turns his Attention to Espio) Quiet, pipsqueak!! Can't ya see I'm havin' conversation with my dumb-dumb of a partner here!?

?????: (Waves Hello to Espio) Hi, Espio.

Espio: (Simply Nodded to the Fat Zeti on the Ground) Zomom.

Zazz: (Comically Glares at Zomom) HEY! The hell you doin' saying 'hey' to the enemy for!?

Zomom: I was being nice. (Turns Away While Pouting) Unlike a certain other pink guy I know....

Zazz: (Starts Pounding his Fist onto the Palm of his Hand as He Msrches himself Over to Zomom) I'll show ya whose nice right after I'm done with y-

??????: ('Groans in Annoyance') Enough! Both of you!

The trio turns their heads towards a camouflaged figure walking out from a white vinyl fence he was standing on this entire time. Eggman's former associate as well as the leader of the Deadly Six, Zavok.

Zavok: You're embarrassing yourselves enough as it is.

Zazz: (Stares at his Boss For a Brief Second Before Turning Away in Embarrassment) He started it......

Zomom: (Lowers his Head Down in Shame) Sorry, Boss.

Zavok: (Turns his Attention to his Main Target) Espio.

Espio: Zavok. May I ask what you and your men are doing in the comforts of my own home?

Zavok: Oh come now. Is that anyway for you treat your old friends and guests?

Espio: (Unconvinced) You came here unannounced and I don't believe I ever recall being friends with either one of you I all my life.

Zazz: (Rolls his Eyes in Annoyance) Great observation there, smart-ass....

Zavok: Yes, very impressive indeed. But believe it or not, we did came here to pay you visit. To see how you're doing this entire time- (Squints his Eyes at Espio in a More Sinster) and test your might in battle.

Espio: (Raises an Eyebrow) Test my might?

Zomom: Yep! (Finally Gets Himself Up From the Ground and Almost Losing His Balance Before Regaining It Again a Second Later) Master Zik told us all about your fight with him at the bridge three years ago and it got us pretty interested all things considered.

Zazz: (Points at Espio) And DON'T think for a second we're acceptin' "No" for an answer either!! (Balls His Fist at the Chamelon's Face) I've been waiting to pound that dumb, little face of yours submission for a long time now and I ain't waitin' no more!!

Zavok: Our previous missions had kept us from doing this a lot sooner. (Slowly Cracks Both of his Knuckles One by One) But fortunately for us, there now won't be anything holding us back from the amount of pain and misery we'll stow upo-

'BeepBeepBeepBeep BeepBeepBeep'

Espio: (Looks Around the Area as He Slowly Moves Zazz's Fist Away From Him) Where does that....beeping noise is coming from.

Zavok: ('Sigh') It's mine. Hang on. (Presses the Button Placed on His Chest as He Receives a Video Call) Zavok's calling.

A hologram of a female zeti with long green hair appears in front of Zavok's eyes.

?????: Hey, so like, Zor and I managed get everything down on the list and have a few more money left. So we're wondering if we can like, spent the rest to get what we want.

Zavok: How much do you have?

??????: Like, fifty bucks, I think? You need that extra cash or-

Zavok: Not at the moment, no. It's all yours. Use it wisely.

?????: Sweet! Will do~

Espio: (Eyes Widened a Bit as He Recognizes the Voice and Face of the Woman Zavok is Calling) Zeena?

Zeena: (Turns Around) Hey, who said my name just n- ('Gasps') Oh...my god. (Smiles Brightly and Eyes Sparkles at a Familiar Face Now in Front of Her) Espio!?~ It's been so long. Hiiiiiii!~

Espio: (Chuckles a Bit at an Old Friend (And Possibly the Only Zeti Friend He Has Growing Up)) It's good see you too. I hope you have been doing well these days

Zeena: I have~ Life has been like suuuuper boring on my end, but- (Does a Little Fashioniva Pose) it's nothing I can't handle with my dazzling charm~ How about you-

Zavok: (Already Done With the Foolish Happening in Front of Him) Thank you for your report, Zeena. That will be all.

Zeena: (Eyes Widened) Wait what!? (Turns to Zavok with a Glare) Zavok, don't you dare end this call. I swear to god!

Zavok: Goodbye.

Zeena: I'M NOT DONE TALKING TO HIM YE-

Zavok ends his holographic call with Zeena.

Zavok: ('Sigh') I swear, that girl continues to be an annoyance by the minute.....

Espio: I find her vastly more tolerable to be around than you three combined.

Zazz: (Angrily Turns to Zavok) Can we PLEASE beat the snot out if this punk already, boss!?

Espio: This is truly what you all wanted? A fight?

Zavok: Correct. (Casually Shrugs at Espio While Having a More Cocky Look on his Face) Though considering your one sided track record against our master over the years, I highly doubt you would stand a chance.

Espio: (Forms a Cocky Smirk of his Own) ('Hmph') If I was a child, maybe. But this now- (Sticks the Back of his Hand Out in a Fighting Stance While Putting on a More Serious Look on his Face) And I'm far less naive since then.

Zazz: (Chuckles Evilly While Cracking One of His Knuckles) Oh yeah? Well, we'll just see about that, you STHINKIN' CHAMLEOOOOOON!

Zazz winds his fist up while making a running start, but when he tries to land a single punch however, the stinkin' chamelon, in question, uses his exact hand to push his opponent's fist down right on cue before successfully kicking him over to the vinyl fence.

Zavok silently orders Zomom to go after Espio by nodding the side of his head towards him. With two beats on his chest and a roaring battle cry, the gluttonous member of the Deadly Six charges in on the assault next. He tries landing multiple punches at Espio, who is effortlessly dodges every single one of them, until he then decides to put both of his hands together and proceeds to slams them down to the ground with brute force. That didn't really do much besides causing the ground to shake a bit however as Espio jumps up from the attack, sends him flying with a somersault to the chin, and then followed that up with a fast, flurry of upward kicks before finishing with two forward high kicks to the face which sends the opponent hurtling back down to the ground.

'Thud'

Zomom: ('Groans in Pain')

Zavok: (Watches Zomom Laying Down on the Ground, Beaten, Before Turning Back to Espio) Hm. Not bad. But let's see if you could fare well with me. (Get Into his Battle Stance)

Espio: (Tosses the Cover of the Trash Bin onto Zazz's Face, Knocking Him Out Once More, Before Getting into his Battle Stance Towards Zavok) Challenge accepted.

The two combatants stare at each other in silence as the wind starts to blow the leafs away in front of them, for a few seconds before charging in and beginning the fight, dodging and counterattacking every hand to hand attacks they dash out at one another while slowly moving it to the front yard.

Meanwhile Inside the House, in Cream's Room........

Charmy: (In the Living Room) Hey, Charmy! You mind bringing our 3-D glasses to us while you're in there!?

Cheese: (In the Living Room) Chao Chaoooooo!?~

Cream: (Giggles Softly as She Walks into Room) Will do, boys!~

Cream happily hums to herself as she grabs her stuff Chao plushie on her bed and two 3-D glasses on her desk before suddenly getting startled by the sound of the trash can getting knocked down from outside.

As she quickly rushes over to her window and opens up the curtains and blinds attached to it altogether, her eyes starts to widen up her big brother, Espio, out in the front yard fighting against muscular, scary looking monster man in red. It wasn't long before she gasps in horror as she then sees him suddenly getting jumped from behind by two other scary looking monsters outside.

Cream: NOOOOO! (Immediately Slams Her Palms onto the Glasses) ESPIO! (Frantically Banging on the Glasses While in Tears) ESPIOOOOOOOO!

Vanilla: (In the Living Room) Cream!?

Vector: (In the Living Room) Are you alright in there, kiddo!?

Cream: Mommy! Daddy! (Quickly Got Away from the Window and Dashes Out of the Room) We gotta go outside, quick! Espio's in trouble!!!

Back Outside.......

Espio gets forcefully pinned into the fence by Zavok with one hand, as both Zazz and Zomom closes in on both sides, crackling evilly at his sudden downfall.

Zavok: I'll admit, you surprised and impressed me. But it doesn't change the fact that you're still the same weak, naive minded, brat we've grown to know and detest.

Zazz: Ha-Haa! EXACTLY!! (Slowly Got Up on Espio's Face) Whatever happened to showin' us up, squirt? HUH!?

Espio: (Rolls his Eyes While Groaning in Pure Annoyance) Tedious to do so when you two went and attack me out of nowhere.

Zazz: (Backs Away From Espio's Face) Well, whaddya expect? We NEVER play fair!!

Zomom: Yeah!- (Suddenly Hears his Stomach Growling Before Using his Hand to Rub it Around) Ah man. I'm starving.....

Zazz: (Facepalms Himself While Groaning) You goddamn morherfu- (Glares at Zomom Again) You just HAD something to eat minutes ago, fatso!!!

Zomom: (Glares Back at Zazz) I only had a bag of chips of eat, ZAZZ! I wanna four course meal!

Zavok: (Rolls his Eyes Again) We'll go get something to eat AFTER I'm through with this runt, Zomom. (Turns Back to Espio With a Sinster Look on his Face) If he even has any fight in him left that is.

Espio: You don't know half of what I'm capable of, Zavok!

Espio's anger starts to raise up by the second. How dare him and two lackeys are still looking down on him after all those years of personal growth and struggles he had to endure.......That until he suddenly notices someone coming from afar.

It was only recognizing the person's face that the shinobi detective ultimately decides to close his eyes, take a very deep breath, calm himself down, and let everything run it's course from there.

Espio: But I'm not gonna waste the rest of my energy upon you today. What I will suggest however- (Opens his Eyes Back Up with a More Serious Look on his Face) Is that you leave this property right now and never come back.

Zavok: ('Heh') Or what? You're gonna call your precious Master Hishi to come all the way over and- (Suddenly Felt a Hand on his Shoulder....) Wha-

Zavok then starts feeling immensely pain and screams in agony from someone putting in him a very painful back wrist lock. This in turn causes both Zazz and Zomom to stand back in surprise and shock.

Zazz: What the!?

Zomom: B-Boss!?

Before he say or god forbidden, do anything to retaliate, their poor leader let's go of Espio and gets dragged around in circles before eventually getting pin face down on the ground with his arm now getting pulled even further from the back, making it far more difficult for him to get back up without risking the chance for his arm to get broken off completely. As he struggles to try and break free with little to no previl whatsoever, he barely looks up and see the person who is doing this entire time was none other than the mother hen of the Chaotix Family: Vanilla Annabelle Rabbit Crocodile.

Vanilla: (Glares Down at Zavok with Vemon and Sever Anger in Both her Eyes) What the hell do you think you're doing to my son?

Zomom: (Almost at a Loss For Words) .......Woah......

Zazz: (Growls in Pure Anger) HEY! (Angrily Marches Over to Vanilla) The hell you think YOU'RE DOING, YOU STUPID OLD HA-

Before Zazz could even dare to get closer and finish that sentence, he suddenly gets tackled into the ground and then proceeds to get beaten up by Vanilla's loving, now enraged husband, Vector Crocodile

Vector: DON'T YOU. EVER. TALK. SHIT. ABOUT. MY. WIFE. EVER. AGAIN!!

Vector gives Zazz one final punch to the face before picking him up, hurling him around like a helicopter, and throwing him straight to the side of the house's brick wall, causing him to slowly slide down onto the ground and knocking him out for real this time.

Espio: (Gently Surprise by Vector's Rage and Beatdown) (Note to self: Never tick Vector off...)

Cream: Espio!! (Rushes Over and Hugs Espio on One Side, Still in Tears) Thank heaven above you're okay!~

Charmy: Are you okay? Those jerks didn't hurt you too badly, did they? (Rushes Over to the Other Side to Help Espio Back Up on his Feet Along With Cream)

Espio: ('Sigh') No, not completely thankfully. I'll be be alright.

Zomom: U-Uh- (Gets Startled by the Couple's Respective Death Glares Before Nervously Walks Back Before Raising Both his Hands Up in Surrender) I-I come in peace-

Zomom suddenly gets hit in the gut hard enough to send him flying while receiving a series of punches by Cheese The Chao.

Cheese: ChaChaChaChaChaChaChaChaChaChaChaCha! CHA-CHAO!

Cheese delivers one more power punch across the gluttonous zeti's face between sending him towards a nearby tree, knocking him out instantly as well.

Cheese: (Points at a Knocked Out Zomom in a Cool, Rebellious Fashion) Chaochao Chao Chao Chaochao.

Zavok: (Looks Up at Espio with a Glare While Struggling) So THIS was your plain......This whole time?.......Having your....new FAMILY fight your battles for you?.....Pathet- (Suddenly Starts Yelling in More Pain When his Arm Starts Getting Pulled Even Tighter by Vanilla's Fierce Grip)

Vanilla: Quit wasting our time and answer my damn question!! What were you doing out here with my son!?

Zavok: (Looks Up at Vanilla) We were just payoff him a visit, ma'am......Nothing more......

Cream: (Glares at Zavok While Hugging Onto Espio in a Protective Manner) A visit is when you come by people's house and say "Hello". NOT BULLY THEIR FAMILIES!!!

Charmy: (Glares at Zakov) Yeah! How would you like it if we come by your place and bully, YOU, huh!?

Zavok: (Rolls his Eyes) I'd rather you didn't honestly- (Yelps in More Pain) ('Agh') Alright, we yield! Christ!

Vector: (Raises an Eyebrow at Zavok) You're calling it quits. Just like that?

Zavok: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yes. It is clear we have been overwhelmed us in battle today. (Shakes his Head) No used fighting back now.

Vanilla stares down at Zavok, not wanting to believe a single that comes out of that mouth of his. But after a few more seconds later, she let's out a heavy sigh as she ultimately decides to let go of his arm..

Vanilla: (Glare Hardens at the Zeti Trying to Get Up On His Own) If I catch you or anyone from your group, harming Espio again, I'll make sure you all disappear from this world forever. Now LEAVE.

Zavok: (Simply Nodded to Vanilla's Demand as He's Holding Onto his Injured Arm) As you wish.

Zomom: (Groans While Rubbing the Back of his Head)

Zavok: Zomom! Grab Zazz and let's go. We're leaving.

Zomom: (Salutes to his Leader While Getting Up From the Ground He Was Sitting on) Y-Yes sir!

Zomom nervously walks by Cheese, who in question, scares him off with his cute, but menacing growl.

Zavok: (Turns Back to Espio) Kore wa owatte inai. (Hardens his Glare) Gaki.

Espio: (Glares Back at his Childhood Bully) Sore made junbi wa dekite imasu, Zavok.

Zavok glares at Espio one last time before walking out of the Chaotix's property with Zomom carrying an unconscious Zazz in his arms, following behind.

Espio watches the Deadly Trio walking away from the yard. Disappointed, but not surprised that things has never changed between them since childhood days at the temple. But it got him to wonder why they came to see him to begin with.

They did say that Master Zik about their bout in the past, but.....even then, was it an order to come by and visit or did they come by their own vindicatio-

Vanilla: (Pulls Espio into Tight, Loving Hug) Oh my poor, sweet baby!!~ Are you okay?

Espio: (Immediately Comes Back to Reality Thanks to Sudden Tight Hug) Y-Yeah. I think so- (Winces a Bit in Pain From his Shoulde Before Placing hos Hand On It) For the most part.....

Vanilla: (Grumbles Before Getting Into Serious Mom Mode) That tears it! (Turns to Charmy and Cheese) Boys, would you be dears and go fetch us a first aid kit?

Charmy: Can we be Espio's special bodyguards too?

Cheese: (Happily Nodding to the Idea)

Espio: (Already Not a Fan of the Idea) That....REALLY wouldn't be necessa-

Vanilla: That sounds like a wonderful idea, honey. Thank you.

Espio: (Face Falls into a Deadpinned Look)

Charmy/Cheese: Yes!/Chao! (Pump Their Fists Up in Rejoice Before Hi Fiving One Another and Zip Back into the House)

Vanilla: (Turns to Her Husband) Vector, could you make a large bowl of popcorn and some snacks for us? We could really use them right now.

Vector: You got it, hon'. (Gives his Wife a Peck on the Lips Before Sprinting Back to the House) Boys, you better not be making another mess in there!!

Vanilla: (Turns to Her Daughter as Place her Hand) Cream, go find us the fluffiest blankets and pillows you can find in house.

Cream: (Salutes to her Mother) Will do, ma'am! (Turns to Espio as Uses her Ears to Flap and Hover Off the Ground) I'll make sure they're fluffy enough to keep you safe and warm. (Gives Espio a Kiss on the Cheek Before Flying Back to the House)

Espio: (Notices that Sad Look into Cream's Eyes) Cream, I- W-Woah! (Suddenly Gets Scooped Up into Vanilla's Arms)

Vanilla: And you mister, are gonna be sitting in that living room sofa, nice and comfy, right after we get you patched up.

Espio: Thank you. But... (Looks Away in Shame) You really don't need to go through all this trouble for me.

Vanilla: That's where you're wrong, dear.

Espio: Hm? (Looks Back Up to Vanilla Smiling Down at Him)

Vanilla: We're a family, remember? We look out for each other no matter what. So please let us do this...... (Eyes Starts To Water) It's the least we can do for not coming out here sooner.......

Espio: (Was About to Say Something Before Ultimately Sighing in Defeat) Okay. Thank you again.

Vanilla: You're always welcome, sweetie. (Gives Espio a Kiss on the Forehead) Let's go.

Vanilla carries Espio back to the house with her. The sound of her sniffing can be heard into Espio's eardrums. He can tell she's trying her absolute hardest to keep it together. So he decides to lay the side of his head onto her chest, reassuring her that he safe and sound in care and that everything will at least be okay for now.
